I was at a Stiller-Brownie game a few years ago. This dude thought he was gonna be hard ass mutha-fucka. He wore his Tim Couch jersey to the game. I saw him in the men's room waiting in the piss line. When it was dude's turn to urinate, he was given a piss shower by some of the burgh's finest drunks. There was nothing be could do. I've seen some ass kickings administered just for wearing the wrong colors.
Even friggin Charlie Watts knew what to wear. At the Pittsburgh show, duirng introductions he pulled up his black pant leg to show the gold socks he was sporting.

Thats repugnant. At least I think its repugnant. Anyway, I can always retract and/or deny as needed to suit my purposes.
Hey! We signed Sepulveda - that dude is going to punt like a club footed Saints kicker every time he needs to. All back spin and stuff.

The only thing geekier than Kent Tekulve on that team was the guy who cleaned up the green pills laying around the hot tub, and Omar Moreno.
Still, a fun time, World Series games dahntahn couldn't even sell out, which made it easy to go to, if'n yins didn't have no money.
Remembering chants around Three Rivers Stadium of "Steelers! Steelers!" while the World Series was going on. Pittsburgh is a strange ass town an 'at.

Kent Tekulve was one of the coolest things to come out of the 70s...Countless neighborhood kids I pegged in the head trying to emulate his funkified delivery and blind man's shades...If I saw him today, I would offer to buy him a meal

yeah who could forget their mix n match poly unis, and they kept wearing those damn baseball centennial caps from '76. great, scrappy team though. came back and punked the O's twice in the decade.
no wonder earl was so high strung, being in 4 Series is cool, winning only 1 not so much. 70s O's were the atlanta braves of their day.

Kent still lives in the area just a few miles away from me. I see him out every now and then. We was manager of a minor legue team outside of Pittsburgh. He actually wanted the Pirates job, claiming that he could turn things around. I'll be sure to let him know where he can sponge a free meal at.
Seeing him in that Phillies uniform at the end of his career, is enought to make anybody puke. It never looked right.

According to Major League Baseball, this was the first all black major league starting lineup (9/1/71):
Rennie Stennett - second
Gene Clines - center
Roberto Clemente - right
Willie Stargell - left
Manny Sanguillen - catcher
Dave Cash - third
Al Oliver - first
Jackie Hernández - short
Dock Ellis - starting acid pitcher
Leading off, Renaldo Antonio Stennett, my favorite player of all time.

According to Major League Baseball, Ty Cobb was the meanest player to ever play the game...he did not like black folks...hell, he didn't even like players who had too much dirt on their face

On May 15, 1912, Cobb assaulted Claude Lueker, a heckler, in the stands in New York. Lueker and Cobb traded insults with each other throughout the first three innings, and the situation climaxed when Lueker called Cobb a "half-nigger." Cobb then climbed into the stands and attacked the handicapped Lueker, who due to an industrial accident had lost all of one hand and three fingers on his other hand. When onlookers shouted at Cobb to stop because the man had no hands, Cobb reportedly replied, "I don't care if he has no feet!"

In those day you were either black or had a passing complexion and lived a lie.

I have a Rennie Stennett bat from bat day at 3 rivers, and an Omar Moreno bat. The Stillers should have bat day. 60,000 Stiller yinzers all juiced up with baseball bats, we would solve all the world's problems, and fast. Sherman going thorugh a Atlanta would have looked like the Macy's turkey day parade, compared to what we would do.
Anyway does Rennie still hold the record for having an 8 for 8 game?
Manny Sanguillen married a white chick that lived down the street from me. He has a barbeque stand a PNC park now.
While looking though pics for my post I found this one. Almost 31 years since his early death.
