The Pittsburgh Pirates They were again on the back leg, forced to explain the disappearance of the “bucco brick” financed by a fan and a delay in their return to the PNC park.
Frustration was increased after fans Shared with KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh The fact that some of the bricks that were located in front of the entrance to the domestic record on the stadium were found in the recycling plant in the area.
The team told several stores on Tuesday that the bricks returned to the “permanent display”. The bricks were removed as part of the reconstruction carried out outside the stadium and the Pirates missed their goal to make the new display ready for its home opener on April 4.
“Bucco bricks” were introduced in 1999, saying the team that sold about 10,000 of them. Many bricks include the reports of family members, leading to a certain horror of fans.
“Over the years, a number of environmental factors, including weather and pedestrian traffic, have led to significant damage to multiple compensation in full,” said Senior Vice President Pirates for Communication and Broadcasting Brian Warecki. “This cycle of deterioration caused our organization to seek a better way to preserve these respected reports in the long run.”
Pirates noted more stores that bricks have already been replaced twice since their introduction.
“We respect, appreciate and understand how meaningful these messages are. We share this feeling,” Warecki said. “We were actively planning to develop and reveal more permanent display of these special messages in honor of permanent support, which our fans shared then and continued to participate in our future. We are looking forward to sharing these details soon to celebrate our 25th season (in PNC park).”
The proceeds of the bricks went to the Roberto Clemente Foundation.
Treatment of the legacy of Clemente, one of the most players in the history of franchise, forced control at the weekend. The Pirates announced on Sunday that they would add logo 21 back to the wall of the right field in the PNC park to honor Clemente, and set out to apologize after his family expressed his unfortunate that the brand was removed for advertising.
