PNC Park, home of the Pittsburgh Pirates, has been one of the greatest places in Pittsburgh since 2001. Before PNC Park was Three Rivers Stadium that was opened from 1970 to 2000. If you’re a sports fan, you don’t want to miss a Buccos game. The atmosphere is insane. With hundreds of fans flooding the ballpark each game, you would think someone incredibly famous was at the stadium, but the players are just like you and me. They have worked their butts off ever since they were little and fell in love with the game of baseball. Now being in the major league, they have to work extra hard to maintain not only a position on the team, but a name for themselves. Dan Hart, who works in communications for the Pittsburgh Pirates, took us up to the press box before the game and talked to us about his job. “Once the confetti of the Super Bowl game goes off, I’m on the clock and getting ready to head down to Florida for spring training. It sure is a fun job, but a very, very long year.” It was so interesting to hear about Dan’s traveling stories, how he gets to build a personal relationship with the players, and his daily work in general. “You don’t know who I am, but you know what I do.” Dan laughs as he explains that when someone comes up to him and is like “Oh! Did you know that Polanco’s last home run was this day at this game and so on?” and Dan says “Yes! I was the one that wrote that information! I was the one that gave you that!” “That’s the coolest thing about this job, Dan continues, you are constantly feeding people information and you never really know what you are going to get yourself into. We are everyone’s eyes and ears and they don’t really even know it.” Dan explained to us about a PNC Park internship they offer during the summer. “Get into as many internships as you can. Get involved, keep writing and it’s inevitable that you will make mistakes, but it’s okay, keep going.” Dan Hart was an incredible person to talk to and it was even better talking about one of my favorite topics, baseball.  To top the night off, The Pirates were able to clutch a win in the bottom of the 10th inning 3-2 against the Brewers. The games are amazing and I’ll never get tired of going to them, It will be something I would want everyone to experience, even if you’re not a fan.
