On Monday night the sports world will revolve around New Orleans. This is because the LSU Tigers will do battle with the Clemson Tigers in the championship game of the College Football Playoff in one of the more anticipated championship games in recent memories.
As a college football junkie who also writes about that sport in addition to baseball, the only thing that could have me more excited for Monday night is if my beloved Nittany Lions (sorry, Pitt fans) were playing. However, there is something else that I will be keeping an eye on Monday night. That something else is a Pittsburgh Pirates connection to the game.
