Pirates limit ticket purchases for Yanks' visit in June
The Pirates usually are happy to take the money of any ticket buyer who comes along.
But when ducats went on sale Saturday for the late June visit by the Yankees - their first since 1960 - the Bucs limited purchases to eight per person.
The idea was to keep large numbers from landing on secondary market sites. And maybe also to limit the number of invading New Yorkers.
I was 10 days old when Maz beat the Yanks the last time they were in town. Cool way to start out life as a sports fan. But I don't remember the game very well, alas.

About time they started doing these series in Pittsburgh. There was no point in fielding a team that could barely fill a national league lineup to try and use a AAAA player as DH as the fringe team plays at Yankee stadium. Interleague should at least try and give the smaller markets an opportunity to cash in by playing the big teams at their place.
