The biggest highlight to come out of the Pittsburgh Pirates versus Washington Nationals game on Tuesday night was not a baseball play, as one would expect.
In attendance was Canadian Little Leaguer Everette Bertsch, who was lobbed a soft question about the Pirates' home stadium by sportscaster Dan Potash.
However, instead of heaping praise on one of Major League Baseball's finest ballparks, the 12-year-old dropped a harsh truth bomb.
Uhhhhhhhhhhh.

Bertsch's "...not a lot of people here, through," remark has garnered the native of Coquitlam, BC plenty of national headlines and he wasn't wrong one bit.
The announced attendance at PNC Park for Tuesday’s game, a 4-1 Pirates’ win, was 10,499.
The Pirates rank 24th in MLB attendance, averaging 19,692 fans per game, with the capacity at PNC Park being a much larger 38,362.
Unfortunately, Bertsch and Canada's Little League World Series Team have already been eliminated from the iconic tournament.
But with his astute ability to analyze his surroundings, we're sure Bertsch will tell his team what they need hear in time for next season.
