PITTSBURGH -- Drew Maggi sat at a hotel across the Allegheny River from PNC Park on Saturday night.

The 33-year-old infielder arrived in Pittsburgh around 7 p.m., having just been called up to the Pittsburgh Pirates from Double-A Altoona. Maggi, looking to possibly make his major league debut, reminisced as he started out at the ballpark.
