In an effort to make amends, the Pirates are offering owners of the discarded bricks a free replica. The team also plans to establish a permanent display for the bricks.

Got the @pirates email on the Bucco bricks. It should be noted that they did offer duplicate bricks for one hundred bucks when they were first sold. I have one. It's not the same.
