Masters 2026: Watch the Pittsburgh Pirates broadcast pay tribute to the Masters with amazing spoof intro
With an MLB logo emblazoned on his collar, Cameron Young sits at the top the Masters leaderboard on Sunday. But that’s not the only cross-sport connection between golf and baseball on this beautiful American afternoon. At Wrigley Field, the Pittsburgh Pirates broadcast kicked off their coverage of Sunday’s Pirates-Cubs game with a pitch-perfect tribute to golf’s most iconic event. Watch it and weep tears of joy.
“It’s a tradition unlike any other,” Pirates play-by-play announcer Greg Brown croons as the camera pans across a patch of budding flowers. “Welcome the final found at the Wrigely.”
The SportsNet Pittsburgh crew even went as far as to create a mock Masters leaderboard highlighting the Pirates early-season lead at the top of the NL Central. It’s A+ stuff from stem to stern, and one of the few non-Paul-Skenes-related reasons to watch Pirates baseball over the last several seasons. That’s saying a lot, so join us as we tip our “ EGG SALAD” cap to the geniuses who brought this little taste of Augusta National to Wrigleyville on Masters Sunday.
