About

I moved to Pittsburgh the fall of 1970 to attend college. I am sports fanatic with football as my No. 1 obsession. I bleed black and gold for Steelers, Pirates and Pens. I've been a Pirate fan since 1960 and fell in love with football in 1965 watching my first JV football game. Since living in Pittsburgh, I have witnessed 2 World Series and 4 Super Bowls during the 70's. No place could be more electric than Pittsburgh at that time. Since the 90's Pittsburgh has won 2 Stanley Cups and 2 out of 3 Super Bowls. It would be nice to have the Pirates win a World Series before the end of this decade.
