Vince Lascheid

Vincent C. Lascheid, Jr (December 26, 1923 – March 19, 2009) was a prominent Pittsburgh organist.

[6] Pittsburgh Pirates general manager Joe Brown and Pirates broadcaster Bob Prince met Vince Lascheid while he was playing at the Colony restaurant and nightclub before the opening of Three Rivers Stadium.

They asked if he was interested in playing organ at the new stadium, which was the beginning of Vince’s long tenure as organist for the Pirates.

[7] Vince was renowned for his sly and witty association of played song titles with player’s names.

[8][9] Digital recordings of his performances continued to be played at Pirates home games.
