Pirates baseball?


It may be quiet at PNC Park right now, but the Home Opener is only a month away – on April 13th! Of course it’s never to early to yell, “GO PIRATES!!”.


Beautiful photograph compliments of Dave DiCello!

…and we’ve compiled a few favorite photos of our Steeler Nation Warriors:

“I want to take a minute to say thank you to all the troops both here, and all over the world for their selfless service to this country and the people. Too often we take for granted the freedoms that these troops give to us. Thoughts and prayers from me and my family go out to all the soldiers and all their families, especially the ones that have paid the ultimate sacrifice. God bless you, and we love you all. Stay safe!” — Ben

From Scott Brown, at ESPN.com:

Keisel is one of the last survivors from the defenses that led the Steelers to a pair of Super Bowls in a four-season span and served as a bridge to the dynastic teams that won four world championships from 1974-79.

The 2002 seventh-round draft pick developed into one of the better 3-4 ends in the NFL and thrived, despite playing a position that doesn’t get a lot of glory while on a defense brimming with star power.

Keisel became beloved by fans as much for his steady play as for the persona that started when he grew a beard thick enough to catch Steelers’ owner Dan Rooney’s attention. It happened in 2010, when Keisel decided to stop shaving while the Steelers made their run to a third Super Bowl in six seasons.

Rooney had been serving as the U.S. Ambassador to Ireland when he saw Keisel’s beard on a visit to Pittsburgh. He basically asked Keisel what in the name of Grizzly Adams he was doing, and Keisel offered to shave. Rooney, however, bemusedly signed off on the beard, and it became its own entity. It now has multiple Twitter accounts and has helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh.

Few Steelers players did it better or longer than Keisel, on and off the field.
