2) Relive the excitement of one of the greatest games in baseball history with Mazeroski Artifacts from the 1960 World Series at the Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum, inside the Heinz History Center. Other than last year’s brief stint at PNC Park, Mazeroski’s famed Pirates uniform and bat heard ’round the world haven’t seen a local crowd since that fateful day at Forbes Field. In addition to Mazeroski’s belongings, you can see other memorabilia including Dick Groat’s jersey from his 1960 MVP season, and the pitching rubber and first base from the iconic Game 7 of the Series.

His Keystone Rhythm Band was one of the region’s hottest groups in the 1980s and Price remains one of Pittsburgh’s best blues singers. His latest release, 2013’s Strong, is his 13th album. 9 p.m. 378 Freeport Rd.
