September 3 is
Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Night at PNC Park as the Pittsburgh Pirates play the Los Angeles Dodgers. Several local groups are organizing outings, including the Japan Association of Greater Pittsburgh and Taiwan Aloha (which is
looking to organize an annual Taiwan Community Day at the ballpark), though members of the
general public can also purchase tickets and be eligible for an AAPI Pirates hat.
Experience a unique blend of sports, culture, and community during AAPI Heritage Night at PNC Park!
Join us in celebrating the AAPI community on September 3rd as the Pirates take on the Los Angeles Dodgers. This special offer includes an exclusive Pirates co-branded AAPI hat and loaded value, good to use on concessions and merchandise on the day of the game. Also, a portion of each ticket will be donated to a local AAPI charity!
The game is notable because the Dodgers feature three star Japanese players---Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Roki Sasak---and because Sophiyah Liu, Taiwan's first female baseball umpire, will throw out the first pitch.
