By now you’ve all seen the latest little bucco going viral with his emotional 18 inning game yesterday.

You know what we get at PNC instead of that kind of passion? 20,000 yinzers woo’ing and clowns using their iPad to take pictures.

I’m calling you out people.  Get your act together and bring some of that October spirit to the dog days of summer.  That kind of juice is contagious.
