"I don't agree with everything my father says."

Crosby hits homer run out of PNC Park

Batting left-handed, Crosby hit one over the right-field wall, which measures 320 feet at the home of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The homer was greeted with cheers from the group of Penguins players gathered behind the batting cage.
