I always thought Mario was awesome. Fought through all kinds of pain and ailments. Still was the best of his time.

My first hero was Jim Pagliaroni, catcher for the BUCS in the mid1960s. My dad and I would listen to the BUCS on KDKA Radio on our back porch and listen to Pag hit hon runs. Some of the best times of my life with m dad.

Clemente was my first sports idol. Stargell came after... They were heroes on and off the field...

Chuck Noll was impressive guy. I spoke to him once in Sewickly. I was in 20s and wanted to talk football. But I spoke about going to school to become a teacher and he just talked about that, because his son was a teacher. I walk past his and the Chief's grave almost every day actually. Solid local hero, caleco.

Ditto. August 14, 1960. Also 9 years old. Upper deck, right field stands looking strait down on my all time hero. I'll never forget walking into that drab old steel and concrete edifice then looking out at the most vivid green I have ever seen.
