[PRCo] Re: "City of Champions"

[John Swindler]

Hi Jerry

 

Great game, at least what I saw of it.  Didn't think thay would pull it off, particularly being the visiting team in game 7.  But was pleasantly surprised that the 'guins were ahead by 2 when we got home.  

 

What a finish.  And what a remarkable come-back from mid-February when they fired the coach who took them to Stanley Cup finals prior year, and brought in a couple older players.  Also, what other professional sports team would have a team captain only 21 years of age??

 

Two major sports champions in one city - a very rare occurrence.  But Steelers and Pirates pulled this off in 1979.

 

John
