All that was missing was one more hit, one fewer JT Brubaker gopher ball, and oh, maybe an all-out aerial assault on the Pirates Charities sign.
But otherwise, my goodness ... I'm not even sure where to start in underscoring what all made this such an uplifting Friday night at PNC Park. And believe it or not, that's not even counting the postgame extravaganza over the Allegheny River that saw drone-lit images of Roberto Clemente, other Pittsburgh treasures and, for the showstopper, Johnny Cueto's skyline-sized hand dropping a baseball, all part of a masterpiece of motorized light unlike anything our city'd ever seen.
