(Pittsburgh, PA) The Pittsburgh Pirates got rid of the “Bucco Bricks” after being given options to save them, according to an independent investigation from the Pittsburgh Sports and Exhibition Authority. The findings from that authority were released Thursday stating that the Pirates refused the choices of both returning the bricks to fans and the team keeping them. A spokesperson for the team said it was “flat-out wrong” to remove the bricks that Pirates fans can customize to honor someone.
