PITTSBURGH Pa. — Joey Bart may not be from Pittsburgh, but he certainly has the city in his blood.



Bart’s father, Tommy, grew up in Lower Burrell, Pa., some 30 minutes from downtown. The elder Bart was a standout athlete in high school and was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1979 but did not sign.
