After everything he's been through since the accident on Wednesday night, this progress feels nothing short of miraculous. He still has a long road ahead of him.
Pirates baseball is a community, and our fans are like family. In times like these, we must come together, support one another, and keep him and his loved ones in our prayers.
The investigation concluded that Markwood did not buy any alcohol during the game, but he did consume two beers purchased by others.
