Pirates fans at the game Tuesday night at PNC Park got to see the Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins as they were in the house celebrating their victory.
Not only did the Penguins attend the game against the Rockies, but Sidney Crosby also got to throw out the first pitch.
Before heading out to the mound, Nick Bonino and his Penguins teammates doubted Crosby's ability to throw a strike.
Crosby didn't let the pressure get to him, though, and he tossed a wicked first pitch that looked like it had some break to it.
Now, the pitch was a called strike by the umpire, but it looked questionable for sure.
Ron Hainsey didn't do a great job framing the pitch, but you can't fault him for that, he's a Stanley Cup-winning defenceman, not a catcher.
If you need more evidence, though, here's the best we could do:
As you can see, the pitch was low and it was a heck of a pitch, but it wasn't a strike.
Hockey fans can argue about the call as long as they want, but Bonino's tweet after the pitch should put everyone's mind at ease.
