Jim Kolesar, a Pirates fan, from the South Side, was the one who retrieved Andrew McCutchen's home run ball yesterday against the Marlins when he passed Roberto Clemente on the team's all-time home run list. He's a Pittsburgher through and through, just watch his interview with SportsNet Pittsburgh.
It was not a tough decision for @Pirates fan Jim Kolesar to return the home run ball to Cutch 🖤💛
"It meant more to him than me... Now I want to hit the 50/50." 🎟️
