Story summary
- The Pittsburgh Pirates celebrated big plays with an orange traffic cone during their game against the Cincinnati Reds.
- The cone tradition began after a shirt reading “Hoist the Cone” was mistakenly sold by Fanatics, likely meant to say “Hoist the Colors.”
- Outfielder Jake Mangum requested the cone to symbolize directing players home, addressing the team’s issue with stranding runners.
- The Pirates responded with an 8-3 victory, hitting four home runs.
