After taking two of three in a pivotal series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Pittsburgh Pirates celebrated by dressing up as superheroes before flying to Denver for a four-game set against the Colorado Rockies starting Monday.
Dressed as Darth Vader, manager Clint Hurdle was asked if the costume idea was stolen from Joe Maddon, manager of division rival Chicago Cubs who they are likely to face in the National League wild-card round.
"Trust me, no, we don't steal anything from Joe," the Pirates skipper quickly replied.
