SPRING TRAINING PLAY BALL EVENT
The Pirates hosted their third annual Spring Training Play Ball event at Pirate City in Bradenton on March 5, 2020. More than 150 kids ages 5-14 participated in the event and enjoyed fun-filled baseball stations, including home run derby, fielding, baserunning, and a mini game. The stations were led by Pirates minor league players, and each participant walked away with some cool Pirates gear and bat-and-ball sets.
