It was a busy night on the baseball diamond for a couple members of the Steelers offense.
At PNC Park, Steelers offensive tackle Zach Banner was on the mound to throw out the first pitch in Pittsburgh while in San Francisco, rookie running back Najee Harris threw out the first pitch before the Giants game.
Harris, a bay area native, lobbed a ball to the outside corner of the plate. Banner's seemed to be just a little more outside, compared to Harris, but the Pirate Parrot was able to snag the ball.
After the pitch, Banner tweeted:
The Pirates replied:
And the Fan's Jeff Hathhorn said they need to await a grade from PFF.
For Harris, it's the second time he's thrown out the first pitch for a Major League team this year.
Last month, Harris threw out the first pitch at PNC Park.
That throw was right down the middle.

Banner and Harris will need to leave their baseball dreams behind in a couple weeks though, when Steelers training camp starts at Heinz Field.
