A new season means new eats, another Pierogi with a purse and a singing bobblehead at PNC Park

The Pirates introduced new lights, new netting and new food — including a purse-wielding, race-running addition to the non-edible fleet of pierogis — at PNC Park on Thursday.

Pizza Penny will make her debut after the fifth inning of the April 7 home opener against the Atlanta Braves, the team announced. She joins trail-blazer Jalapeño Hannah, 2015 addition Bacon Burt and standbys Sauerkraut Saul, Cheese Chester and Oliver Onion.

The six contestants will rotate on a nightly basis, with four competing at a time.

The Pirates spent the rest of the morning explaining what else is new at PNC Park.
