WATCH: Squirrel Hill Nursing Home Residents Sing 'Take Me Out To The Ballgame' In Celebration Of Pirates 'Stay Home Opener'
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - The Pittsburgh Pirates home opener scheduled for yesterday was cancelled because of coronavirus. But some residents at the Jewish Association on Aging didn't let that stop them from singing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame."
The Jewish Association on Aging shared a video of Charles Morris Nursing and Rehab Center residents in Squirrel Hill celebrating the "Stay Home Opener" yesterday -- while practicing social distancing, of course.
Take Us Out To The BallgameWere we dreaming? Was it Opening Day for the Pittsburgh Pirates today? Social distancing in our make-believe PNC Park. If you listen, you can hear the echos of the crowd cheering our Buccos. Rose sounding like Vince Lascheid at the keyboard, Carol and Marcellina revving up the troops, Evelyn wrapped in her Pirates throw. It's our own cheering section at JAA. Watch this and you can practically taste the peanuts and crackerjack!
