One of my top 5 teams in the MLB is the Pittsburgh Pirates. They have the prettiest ballpark in the MLB by far. The name of the ballpark is PNC Park. I have been their once and one of my goals is to go back in the near future. Since the Pittsburgh Pirates are the third or fourth closest team to Broadway a lot of people like them. The Pittsburgh Pirates are members of the National League Central Division. Other team that are in the division are the Reds, Brewers, Cubs, and Cardinals. This year the Pittsburgh Pirates finished with a record of 98 and 64. That is really good. Anytime a team can win close to 100 games they are one of the elite teams for that season. The win percentage for their season is .605. The Pittsburgh Pirates were first established in 1882. They were named after one of the three rivers that join in Pittsburg. The Allegany and Monongahela join together to form the Ohio River. They were named after the Allegany River. They changed their name in 1891 to the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pittsburgh Pirates played the Nationals this season in a very questionable game. The Nationals pitcher had a perfect game through 8 and ⅓ innings. That is outstanding for a pitcher. However one of the Pittsburgh Pirates players leaned into a pitch in order to get hit and giving him first base ended the perfect game. It is part of baseball to me, but other Nationals fans were really mad. In the 2016 season a would look for a rivalry game when these two teams play. Especially since these are two really good teams.
