In the morning we visited Mount Washington which affords spectacular views of Downtown Pittsburgh. We rode the Monongahela incline down to Station Square where we had brunch at The Grand Concourse, located in the former Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Train Station. After an afternoon visit to the Oakland District, home to The University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University and Schenley Park, we headed to Heinz Field where Dick and Torey hosted a great tailgate party before the ND-Pitt game which, sadly, the Irish lost.

Many of Pittsburgh's bridges are yellow, or rather, Aztec Gold.

Many of the bridges in the Downtown area are colored yellow, either constructed as such or painted afterward, to match the city's official colors of black and yellow. Actually, city officials say that the color is "Aztec Gold".

The great Hall of Famer and Humanitarian, Roberto Clemente

On Dec. 31, 1972, Roberto Clemente, all-star outfielder for the Pittsburgh Pirates, was killed en route to deliver assistance to earthquake victims in Nicaragua. His humanitarian legacy survives to this day. On the baseball diamond, Roberto Clemente was extraordinary. In his 18-season Major League Baseball career, he was a four-time National League batting champion, a 12-time Gold Glove winner and the 11th player ever to reach 3,000 hits.

Honus Wagner, one of baseball's all time greats

Johannes Peter "Honus" Wagner (February 24, 1874 – December 6, 1955, nicknamed "The Flying Dutchman" due to his superb speed and German heritage ("Dutch" in this instance being an alteration of "Deutsch"), was an American Major League Baseball shortstop. He played in the National League from 1897 to 1917, almost entirely for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Wagner won eight batting titles, tied for the most in NL history with Tony Gwynn. He also led the league in slugging six times, and in stolen bases five times. In 1936, the Baseball Hall of Fame inducted Wagner as one of the first five members. He received the second-highest vote total, behind Ty Cobb and tied with Babe Ruth
