For the first time ever, one of the great "new" baseball parks on the continent will host playoff baseball. By defeating the Cincinnati Reds in the first two games of their series in Cincinnati, the Pittsburgh Pirates have clinched home field advantage for their one-game playoff with those same Reds on October 1.
It will be the first playoff game played in PNC Park, which opened in 2001. A few years ago it was named the best ballpark in baseball, and is generally regarded as in the top 2 or 3.
Congratulations, Pirates. It's been a long time coming. Playoff baseball, welcome to PNC Park--and welcome back to Pittsburgh.
