Speaking of the Pirates, Pirates legend Bill Mazeroski has made the trip to Bradenton. He made the rounds at Pirate City talking with Pirates staff, coaches and players. Mazersoki came at the invitation of current Pirates manager Derek Shelton.
He is expected to join a reunion with the 1960 pirates later this season when the organization pays tribute to the world-series winning team. And for that celebration, the Pirates will play the New York Yankees.
