Fans Snapping Up Pirates Post-Season Gear
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- With the memories of the clubhouse celebration freshly painted on the canvas of their minds, Pirates' fans were snapping up post-season gear Wednesday at PNC Park.
"It's the second Buctober of my life, so I came on my lunch hour today to get my shirt," said Mark Gaynord, of Mars.

Carol Senge was on a family mission.
"Had to get it for my son and my husband," she said.
Whether after a shirt, hoodie, or sweatshirt, these fans share a Bucco pride.
"Very excited, we're happy for them, they worked hard all year and they deserve it," said Cheryl Harrigan, of Clairton.
And that celebration last night.
"Speechless, seeing Hurdle in the middle there and everyone spraying him with champagne, it was fantastic. Being an old timer as I am, I loved every minute of it," said Dave Kurowsky, of Charleroi.
"It was a good night for Pirates' baseball, we'll get at it again tonight," said Pirates President Frank Coonelly.
While the Pirates wrap things up on the road, the folks at the ball park are preparing for a possible playoff game. Coonelly says the second year of playoff action in a row does not diminish the excitement.
"I think it's more meaningful," he said. "This team had some challenges to get over that last year's team didn't. It's always tougher to get back in there. It showed we together have built something that's sustainable, it's not a one and done situation."
Fans get to enjoy the ride.
