A Pirate, a few Steelers and a movie star go to Penguins game
Pirates pitcher Joe Musgrove is becoming something of a tour guide for Pittsburgh.
On Tuesday, the day before Derek Shelton was officially introduced as the Pirates new manager, Musgrove took him out for lunch at Primanti’s in the Strip District.
Before you ask, yeah he's been there.

Musgrove followed that up by taking in Wednesday night’s Penguins game against the St. Louis Blues with a few friends. Those friends included a few Steelers and a movie star.
He posted a photo from an executive suite at the game with Steelers quarterback Devlin “Duck” Hodges, linebacker Devin Bush and long snapper Kameron Canaday along with actor Jason Momoa.
The new skipper was also at the game helping to celebrate Musgrove’s 27th birthday as per a post on the Pirates Twitter account.

Steelers QB Hodges has also been seen at a few events in Pittsbugh and was featured in a video on the Penguins official Instagram page declaring, “Who said ducks and penguins can’t get along. Let’s go Pens.”
And Momoa has also been seen around the city as he shoots his Netflix movie “Sweet Girl.” He was on the Steelers sidelines before their game against the Los Angeles Rams last month.
The guys got a good game as the Penguins shutout the Blues 3-0.
