One of the best parts about being a fan of the Pittsburgh Pirates is having the same favorite baseball team as the legendary Mike ‘Doc’ Emrick. As Pittsburghers know, Doc is not just the voice of the NHL on NBC, but also a huge fan of the Pirates.
Due to this, every year during Spring Training, Doc joins the Pirate announce booth for at least one game. On Wednesday afternoon, Doc will be in the booth to help call the Grapefruit League action between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Toronto Blue Jays.
For those who do not know, Doc’s fan hood dates back to his childhood.
