LOS ANGELES — With the prime-time Emmy Awards taking place Sunday night at Microsoft Theater, just steps away from the team hotel in downtown Los Angeles, the Pirates wore a Hollywood look for the occasion.
In the morning, a pack of Pirates players strolled down Olympic Boulevard toward Starbucks dressed head to toe in outlandish costumes. Later, after their series finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Pirates gathered for a team picture with everybody from the coaching staff to players to clubhouse staff in full costumes.
A.J. Burnett was Batman, and Jeff Locke was Robin.
