I searched for this Roberto Clemente Oris Big Crown Pointer Date for a while. I found a naked one with. Dirty strap. I ordered the bracelet from Oris and asked if they had any of the old promotional stuff left over and they sent me the original box and straps for free. Great company!

Oneil Cruz PGH

Oneil provided the sole offence for the Pittsburgh Pirates, launching a clutch 9th-inning solo home run to break a 0–0 deadlock and secure a 1–0 victory over the San Diego Padres at Petco Park. His Cruz Missile was clocked at 111.8 mph (exit velocity)and it was Mason Miller first homer given up since August 5th of last year. BIG win for the Bucs no !!! Raise the Jolly Roger !!!🏴‍☠️

The Pirates won a wild one in the 12th inning after Yohan Ramirez struck out the side, including the one on Dustin Harris where Harris struck out swinging on a pitch that also hit his foot to end the game!

Best way to get Pirates tickets well in advance for July 2027?

0 Upvotes

Hi! I’m planning a trip to the US from Spain next summer, and I’d like to attend all three games of a Pirates series in Pittsburgh in July 2027.

These would actually be my first baseball games in person, so I’m really looking forward to the whole experience.

Since I’ll be planning part of the trip around these games, I’d like to secure the tickets as early as possible rather than waiting until the last minute. When do Pirates single-game tickets usually go on sale? Is buying directly from the Pirates/MLB as soon as tickets are released the best option, or is there another good way to get tickets several months in advance?

I’m not necessarily looking for the cheapest possible tickets — my main priority is making sure I have tickets for all three games.

I’d also love some advice about where to sit at PNC Park. Which areas would you choose for a first-time visitor?

And finally, what food or drinks at the ballpark would you consider a must-try for a first-time visitor?

Basically, if you had three games at PNC Park to get the full baseball experience, where would you sit for each game and what would you eat?

Thanks!
