Everyone in the Steel City is riding the highs of the Pittsburgh Pirates win over the Cincinnati Reds in the NL Wild Card game on Tuesday night, but a hospital in Pittsburgh is taking things one step further.
St. Clair Hospital is celebrating the Pirates win by suiting up newborn babies with their own Pirates onesie and red bandannas so that they too can celebrate the Pirates postseason success. St. Clair Hospital made the announcement on Twitter and followed up with a few pictures of their “Baby Buccos.”
Starting today, we're ensuring the area’s newest Pirates’ fans won’t have to wait their whole lives to celebrate postseason play. (1/2)
