Charitable Pirates don Father's Day gear

PITTSBURGH -- The Pirates traded their black and gold for blue on Saturday as part of Major League Baseball's weekend-long celebration of Father's Day.

The Bucs sported special jerseys and caps as well as blue socks, wristbands, compression sleeves, shoes and other gear on Saturday against the Cubs at PNC Park. They will do the same on Sunday. Their home white jerseys included light blue numbers and markings. They donned light blue caps with gray visors and their logo in white.
