All-Star countdown
Just a month to go before Major League Baseball's All-Star Game at PNC Park.
A bit of Pirates' All-Star trivia:
- The first Pirate to hit a home run in the All-Star Game was Hall of Fame shortstop Arky Vaughan in 1941. He actually hit two that game, becoming the first All-Star to homer twice in one contest.
- The next time a Pirate belted an All-Star round-tripper was in 1943, a guy named DiMaggio. In this case, the DiMaggio in question was Vince, Joe's older brother. posted at 4:48 PM by Harry Funk
