Seneca Valley graduate Henne snares 3,000th home run in PNC Park history

PITTSBURGH — A big fan of baseball, travel and the Pittsburgh Pirates, Brendan Henne admits he’s not much into memorabilia.

“I’m more into making memories,” the 2017 Seneca Valley graduate said.

He made himself a doozy Thursday night at PNC Park.

Attending the Pirates’ game against the Boston Red Sox that night, Henne and his younger brother, Luke (2019 SV graduate), and a couple of friends sat in Section 142, Row B, just above the Clemente Wall in right field.

“My brother and I go to 35 or 40 games a summer,” Luke Henne said. “It’s bonding time for us. Baseball and travel have brought us extremely close as siblings.

“We usually enioy sitting in the outfield. This season, for some reason, we hadn’t sat out there for a single game.”
