The Latest Breaking News from Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH — A partial list of Hall of Famers who left their original team after achieving greatness:

PITTSBURGH — There was no 14-run explosion this time. Not even eight, as the Pirates had averaged over the past five games, all wins. Furthermore, the Pirates saw their quality start streak snapped at 11.

PITTSBURGH — To reach a benchmark never done before in the Derek Shelton era, it was only fitting that a trio of first-year Pirates helped make the feat possible.

PITTSBURGH — Sonny Vaccaro knows that Matt Damon looks nothing like an Italian kid from Trafford. But that doesn't mean he had any misgivings about Damon playing him in "Air," the feature film currently in theaters about how Vaccaro signed Michael Jordan to his first shoe deal at Nike.

PITTSBURGH — The Penguins have come to a crossroads with goaltender Tristan Jarry. He can be an unrestricted free agent in July. I'm inclined to move on and pursue Anaheim Ducks goalie John Gibson, a Pittsburgh native, even if it means trading Jake Guentzel or Bryan Rust.

PITTSBURGH — Jack Suwinski didn’t need to dig around in his suitcase to locate the red-hot bat that played a big role on the Pirates’ recent road trip. Connor Joe, same deal.

PITTSBURGH — Penguins fans should know that when Fenway Sports Group executive Dave Beeston said there is “no limit” as to who the team will hire to lead its hockey operations department next, they were far from empty words.

PITTSBURGH — School districts across the state, including those in Western Pennsylvania, could soon implement new curriculum focusing on political and historical contributions made by people with disabilities.
