Pirates Caravan 2008 rolled out to Seven Springs Mountain Resort on Sunday, Jan. 13, 2008 to kick off the Caravan tour the concludes at PirateFest Jan. 25-27.
Players appearing in the first week were Closer Matt Capps, SP Tom Gorzelanny, CF Nate McLouth, along with Manager John Russell, Advisor Chuck Tanner, Color Commentator Bob Walk, Voice of the Pirates Lanny Fratere, GM Neal Huntington and big boss Frank Coonelly.
Fans were able to get autographs and talk to the players, team up for games like Deal or No Deal with Nate McLouth or a version of Family Fued against the Pirate team of Capps, Russell, Gorzelanny and Walk, play chuck-a-luck, try to win autographed memorabilia with ticket sales benefitting Pirates Charities and buy opening day tickets.

The Pirates team brainstorming for answers

The player earning the "he's a cut-up" award at the Pirates Caravan was Tom Gorzelanny. When asked to come up with an answer for "100 Pirate Fans surveyed, what is the best place to eat at PNC" question, Gorzo says "I've never been up there."
When introduced by Voice of the Pirates Lanny Fratere, Gorz asks him "Can you say my name right this year, Lanny? It's 'Gorz-ah-lonny, Lanny.'"
