Pittsburgh Pirates Hold Moment Of Silence For Mac
The Pittsburgh Pirates paid tribute to rapper Mac Miller Monday night with a moment of silence before the game began. The Pirates were set to play against the Kansas City Royals but before the first inning started, a video featuring Mac Miller was shown to the crowd. Heartbreakingly, the video included a clip of the rapper throwing out the first pitch at the ballpark of his hometown. The video touched on how much Mac Miller meant to the Pittsburgh community, “Locally, Mac is remembered as a hometown kid who sang about our city where his heart clearly remained,” the announcer said. “Our thoughts are with his parents, his grandmother and all of his family and friends who mourn his passing”. Former Pirates player, Andrew McCutchen (who now plays for the New York Yankees), tweeted about the importance of the Pittsburgh Pirates to Mac Miller and the way he loved to support his favorite team.
Mac Miller was Pittsburgh. My last encounter w/ him was when I was on the Pirates and he came to a game in LA. He sat right next to our dugout and cheered throughout the entire game. Literally standing and screaming every time I ran in from defense. You will be missed bro.
