Pirates President Travis Williams announced Wednesday that the team “is working on a new permanent display” for the commemorative “Bucco Bricks” originally purchased by fans when PNC Park opened in 2001. The bricks “have been replaced multiple times through the years due to wear,” and the team pulled them during the offseason as part of maintenance work around the stadium -- but they were not replaced ahead of the season opener, which led to widespread frustration among fans. Williams wrote an open letter to fans “offering anyone who donated to the program when it began a free commemorative copy of their brick.” Williams also said the team is working on a “new display for the new batch of bricks that will include their original messages.” Williams added the team is “expediting the new display,” which “will likely be moved to a new location” (AP, 4/16).
