    PITTSBURGH – Joey Bart’s father was a star athlete at Burrell High School.

Really cool event in New York. Pirates SS Isiah Kiner-Falefa got to meet someone from Ralph Kiner’s side of the family for the first time. IKF met his second cousin, Scott Kiner, Ralph’s son, who released a book on Ralph. He was emotional, calling it “an incredible moment.” https://t.co/10nGlB0ldV
