Watch: Pirates unveil epic Game of Thrones-themed lineup intro

Jason Cauveren

Though Jon Snow and Sansa Stark aren't yet ready to march on Winterfell and reclaim the North from the clutches of Ramsay Bolton, the Pittsburgh Pirates are out here waging their own war, so to speak, on the, uh, seven kingdoms of Major League Baseball. (That's a Game of Thrones reference, by the way, for the woefully uninitiated.)

Eager to establish themselves as baseball's most culturally engaged club, the Pirates recently unveiled their new starting lineup introduction video based off the opening title sequence from the immensely popular HBO show. It is, as the kids say, fire, with the Pittsburgh skyline and PNC Park replacing the kingdoms of Westeros featured in the show's intro - a spectacular visual sequence interspersed with the Pirates' starters.

Ugh. Is it Sunday yet?
