“That's the most electric that I've heard PNC, just credit to the fans for the atmosphere, the electricity... We need to keep it up, continue to earn that."
Don Kelly on the atmosphere at the Pirates' Home Opener 🙌
Coming together for our city. 🖤💛
We joined the Penguins and Steelers to help provide Thanksgiving dinners for 300 local families, alongside @GiantEagle and the @PghFoodBank . #BurghProud
Over 1,000 people walked in support of mental health awareness at our 4th annual Pirates Charities Family Walk, presented by @Highmark_BCBS.
Team President Travis Williams and Manager Don Kelly, along with players, coaches, and their families, joined fans as they walked around the best ballpark in America.
Wow. No words.
So brave of Jarren Duran to open up about his mental health and suicide attempt in 2022.
Duran said he’d be standing in the outfield at Fenway and people were screaming at him to “Go back to AAA”. All the while thinking he wanted to take his own life.
Why choose hatred when you can choose to be kind. Protect your mental health and do your part to help others that just might be going through something you can’t see.
Pitching in for our community. ⚾️🩵
Rays staff and players came together today in front of @TropicanaField to help @FeedingTampaBay and @SPCATampaBay distribute meals and pet food to families impacted by Hurricane Helene and Milton.
On top of providing Tropicana Field as a distribution location for Pinellas County #hurricanehelene relief efforts, @RaysBaseball are also showing their community support by organizing team volunteering efforts and donating $100,000 to Feeding Tampa Bay!
Thank you TB Rays!💙
Making dreams come true never looked so good ☀️
Take a look back on @ChildDreamFund's Rays on the Runway event and see what it means to our players to be able to build such strong bonds with these inspirational kids.
@RaysCommunity
Shout out to @RaysBaseball tonight. They had 13 players in St. Pete for 'Rays on the Runway,' a fashion show fundraiser supporting the Children’s Dream Fund. These “Dream Children” with life-threatening illnesses walked the runway with some of their favorite players. #RaysUp
This Magic Monday, our players welcomed the Bulls from A League of Their Own!
It's an honor to support their mission of creating an inclusive environment where everyone can experience the joy of baseball.
“I’m going to get a little choked up here. Given everything over the past year, this turned into a special day. I felt at peace on the mound today.”

Pete & his wife Lydia hosted the Turner Syndrome Foundation.
He lost his baby girl Ellis to Turner Syndrome this offseason.
For every strikeout he donates to the foundation.
Butterfly is the symbol for Turner Syndrome.
He has seen so many butterflies recently.
Here is a link to their live auction for the foundation:

Making baseball accessible to all.
To celebrate today's inaugural Disability Pride and Awareness game, here's a look back at the recent Baseball Magic Clinic we hosted with our friends at Buddy Baseball, A League of Their Own and St. Pete Challenger League. These groups work tirelessly to ensure passionate players with unique abilities are able to get in the game.
We love Magic Mondays, too, Alex.
It’s easily the best day of the week when we get to have teams like the Bobcats come out to meet players and enjoy a game. Take a look back on their recent visit!

Earlier today, some of our pitchers and their families served lunch and packaged snack bags for families staying at @rmhctampabay. The Ronald McDonald House provides a home-away-from-home for families of pediatric patients in local area hospitals.
It's amazing what goes on in our waterways on a daily basis. Dolphins and cownose rays "interacting" off the northern tip of Anna Maria Island this morning. 📷 Jacob Merrifield #TampaBay#Florida
I’m still stuck on Rick Burkholder - Chiefs head athletic trainer - including Taylor for on field celebrations with the whole team, her responding with, “omg I didn’t do anything, are you kidding”, to which he responds, “you’ve been with us the whole way”
