Me on the left at Three Rivers in the ’90s. If 2026 is the breakthrough season for the @Pirates, it will mean everything to those of us who never left.
25 years ago today, Three Rivers Stadium was officially demolished. What were some of your favorite memories from the stadium?

Pirates Twitter coming to the aid of Coach Hurdle against Mark Madden.
Replying to @MarkMaddenX
This makes all the sense in the world now Mark. I did not know you’re a realist. Thank you for the clarification. Go pour into your people.

Clint Hurdle stuffing Mark Madden in a locker. Get em, Coach! @ClintHurdle13
Replying to @MarkMaddenX
You might feel different if you wore a uniform on that team in 2013. Easy to dismiss that year if you have no human capital invested in it.

A healthy Oneil Cruz is a superstar in this league.
Oneil Cruz leads off the game with a double, then steals 3rd for his 29th stolen base of the year... 108.9 MPH exit velocity, .740 xBA

Extending Brandon Lowe has to be one of the Pirates biggest offseason priorities.
...Who else?! That's 9️⃣9️⃣ HRs at PNC Park for your Buccos!

Even after missing nearly half the season, Oneil Cruz is still a Top 10 Centerfielder in all of baseball. The Pirates need to extend him.

The Pirates would be locked into the playoffs right now if Oneil Cruz was healthy all season.

Konnor Griffin knocks in 2. Pirates up 4-0 in a must win game. Konnor is on an absolute tear since coming back. Looks so comfortable at the plate. Budding superstar in this league.

An MLB 2nd baseman needs to come up with this ball.
Max Muncy singles off Paul Skenes in the sixth to knot the game back up for the Dodgers!

Imagine the state of this app if you-know-who did this for the Pirates.
PCA can’t find the baseball and it’s an inside-the-park HR for Shea Langeliers

Oneil Cruz now with 20 SBs to go along with 14 HRs and 44 RBIs. Every single Pirates fan should be adding him to their All Star ballots. Support our Stars.
