Pittsburgh Gives 'Gotham' Welcome-Back to Buc's 'Batman'

What a city. What a cool way to welcome back Pirates Pitcher A.J. Burnett.

It's no secret Pirates' Pitcher A. J. Burnett is a huge Batman fan. Thursday night, Pittsburgh made sure he knew the city had his back on his return to the mound after missing six weeks with a forearm injury. What other city would dream up something like this?
