Pittsburgh Pirates

On August 17, 2019, the Pittsburgh Pirates held a fan promotion for those in attendance to see the afternoon's game versus the Chicago Cubs. The first 20,000 fans to arrive at PNC Park received a Pittsburgh Pirates cardigan sweater compliments of PNC Bank.

This promotion, clearly based on Mister Rogers and his iconic sweaters, was endorsed by several Pirates players wearing either a sweater of their own or a "Beautiful Day" t-shirt -- one of the many great designs from Steel City.

Between innings, the trailer for A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood was played on the stadium's video board.

 

The Cubs won the game and Pittsburgh fans reacted accordingly.
