Pittsburgh Pirates Block Party
Florida Pro Baseball covers professional baseball leagues and teams in Florida, including the Pittsburgh Pirates of Major League Baseball (MLB), who play in the Grapefruit League, and the Bradenton Marauders of the Florida State League (FSL).
Bradenton lies along the Manatee River in southwest Florida. Home to many parks, the city also lies close to beaches along the Gulf of Mexico and has hosted MLB teams and Spring Training for many years.
The Pirates began training in Bradenton in 1969 and use both LECOM Park and Pirate City, located near downtown.
The 2025 Pittsburgh Pirates Block Party took place on Old Main Street in downtown Bradenton. The annual block party featured fan experiences. Attendees celebrated the start of Spring Training.
Several players attended, including infielders Jared Triolo, Nick Gonzales, and Jack Brannigan, as well as outfielder Matt Gorski and pitcher Braxton Ashcraft. Players signed autographs and posed for photos with fans.
