Endy Rodriguez and Joey Bart collide on a pop fly near the plate, but Ke'Bryan Hayes makes a heads up play to get an out at the plate.

It hasn't been a happy opening week for the local baseball team, between losses, "sell the team" chants, and questions around the "Bucco Bricks."

Since being removed earlier this year, fans are wondering what happened to the "Bucco Bricks" outside of PNC Park. KDKA's Chris Hoffman is looking for those answers.

Pittsburgh Pirates fans haven't had much to celebrate so far this MLB season, with the team starting the 2025 campaign with a 2-7 record. The team's first series at PNC Park brought further frustration from the fanbase thanks to a big change in the outfield.

The Pittsburgh Pirates (2-5) will play their home opener at PNC Park on Friday after spending the first seven games of the 2025 season on the road. First pitch is scheduled for 4:12 p.m. Pittsburgh's Mitch Keller (1-0, 1.50 ERA) is slated to take the mound, while New York's Max Fried (0-0, 3.86 ERA) is the projected starter for the Yankees.

While the Pirates were welcomed back to PNC Park for their home opener Friday, the real homecoming was for Marc Fogel, who got to throw out the ceremonial first pitch.

A Roberto Clemente logo at PNC Park was seemingly replaced with an advertisement. A post shared by Roberto Clemente Jr. shows the spot where his father’s logo was previously located now holds an advertisement for a beverage. The change created some backlash from fans on social media.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have reversed course on a decision to remove from PNC Park a placard honoring the late Hall of Famer and franchise legend Roberto Clemente in order to make room for advertising space. The Pirates' response comes after Clemente's son, Roberto Clemente Jr., criticized the club for the decision.

Pirates team president Travis Williams says the change was an honest mistake, says team "meant no disrespect."

That was followed by the Pirates giving up three walk-off wins against the equally moribund Miami Marlins to start the season, and a home opening series against the New York Yankees that had fans booing the manager and chanting for owner Bob Nutting to sell the team, or flying a banner with the same message over the ballpark.
