Pittsburgh Pirates

Happy Thanksgiving Buccos fans!

We teamed up with the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Pittsburgh Steelers for the fourth consecutive year to support 300 families this Thanksgiving. The #BurghProud Thanksgiving Dinner Distribution took place on Pittsburgh's North Shore in partnership with Giant Eagle, Inc. and the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. Sporting their black and gold, Pirates President Travis Williams, Steve Blass and members of our front office worked alongside fellow Pittsburgh athletes, Pirate Parrot, Iceburgh, and Steely McBeam to load cars with all the supplies needed for a Thanksgiving dinner.

The Pirates are hiring a Baseball Communications Director to join our Communications team. This employee will provide strategic counsel to Baseball Operations, all coaching staff, and player personnel. The Director is the primary point of contact for all baseball-related media initiatives and will serve as a spokesperson under the guidance of the SVP, Communications and Broadcasting.

On Friday, together with Duquesne Light Company, we hosted a Leadership Summit for over 50 student-athletes from all over the city. Before a networking dinner, those in attendance took in a wealth of knowledge and guidance from a 5-person panel that included Pirates President, Travis Williams; Pirates GM, Ben Cherington; Pirates Alum, Michael McKenry; DLC President & CEO, Kevin Walker, and DLC Chief Diversity Officer, Sam Hartzman. Topics included leadership, both on and off the field, and career advice for these future athletes!

We teamed up with Koppers Inc. to complete the second phase of the Pittsburgh area dugout renovations at the Smock Volunteer Fire Department Fields in Smock, PA. The before and after photos showcase the improvements that have been made. Thanks again to Koppers for their support of local youth baseball and softball!
