The Pirates honored the Pens during the pre-game ceremonies and the Stanley Cup made an appearance on the field, much to the delight of fans.
But before the teams hit the field, the Pens and Bucs spent some quality time in the clubhouse.

The two No. 29s had a chat. The Pens tweeted this photo of goalie Marc-Andre Fleury and Pirates catcher Francisco Cervelli with the caption "Backstoppers Unite."

And, we know Sidney Crosby can create magic on the ice, but what about his throwing arm. Here he is testing it out before the first pitch with Ron Hainsey:

Then, Crosby hit the field with the rest of the Pens to throw out the first pitch.

The Penguins also brought the Stanley Cup to PNC Park in 2009.
Last year, the Pirates were on the road when the Pens won. So, the Cup instead ended up at the U.S. Open at Oakmont, much to the delight of fans and the professional golfers.
