MLB Umpire Greg Gibson welcomes Frank, Scott, Ramello, and Ricky to PNC Park for a scheduled game between the Braves and Pirates. Frank and Scott are caring mentors with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Pittsburgh. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate and the game was rained out. Still, everyone had an opportunity to meet and chat for a while on the field.

Big Brothers Big Sisters is one of the most effective youth mentoring organizations in the United States. BLUE for Kids recognizes the direct and lasting impact that adult mentors have in the lives of young people. Through the BLUE Crew Tickets program, umpires provide memorable sports experiences to strengthen the mentor/youth relationship. About Big Brothers Big Sisters

Comments from Scott Davidson:

Despite the complete rainout at our game, we still had a great time. It was my little brother's first time at PNC Park. Mr. Gibson was terrific. He spent a long time with us and answered all of our questions. He was great to the kids.
