PITTSBURGH -- Performing in front of crowds is nothing new to Charlie Morton, who makes his living on a Major League mound. But the fact that he can capture an audience with a guitar and not a baseball, well, that's certainly something to be noted.
Morton took center stage at PirateFest early Saturday evening and treated fans to a 20-minute concert that featured nothing more than an old guitar and Morton's vocals. And unbeknown to most, the right-handed starter is quite the talented musician.
Morton, who picked up playing guitar back in 2004, jumped at the opportunity to showcase his talent this weekend when word of his musical abilities leaked out. He performed one original song and a handful of others in front of a sizeable audience that included a number of his teammates.
'I thought it would be really cool for fans to see something that we do off the field,' Morton said.
