We went to Game 1 of our trek at PNC Park in Pittsburgh. It was great to be able to attend the game with the Hicks Family, who we will also see in Chicago on Tuesday. The hometown Pirates played the Astros. We expected a tough game for the Pirates with Astro ace Roy Oswalt on the mound, but he left the game early with an injury. We had amazing seats about 12 rows from the Astro dugout. Only $12 per ticket! However, the seats were in the blazing sun, so we moved into some shade for the rest of the game. The park and the surrounding area is awesome. Right next to one of the Three Rivers! We even walked to Heinz Field and the Mr. Rogers statue. It is a very family friendly environment. Our buddy, Robb Hicks had a Primanti Bros. sandwich and lived to talk about it. The Pirates had a complete game shutout from Paul Maholm and they won 9-0! Time for some rest, before we venture to Detroit.
