Real quickly, I wanted to update on some ‘Burgh stories that warrant some kind of attention. However, I’m not trying to spend all that much time, seeing as how I’m a little late with them. My flight from New York City to Pittsburgh was delayed, but only after I was on the plane. As quick […]

Heading back to the 'Burgh. Thanks for everything, New York City, but there really is no place like home (and only if that home is Pittsburgh).

Does this guy look familiar? Pitt fans probably know him. WVU fans definitely know him. Rasheed Marshall is hoping that all Steelers fans will get to know him in the upcoming season. Scott Brown of the Tribune-Review reminds readers of the former Big East Player of the Year, as he tries to make a Steelers […]

Yesterday’s LaMarr Woodley post really got me in a Steelers’ mind frame. Plus, with the Pirates being, well, the Pirates, I’ve decided to turn my attention to a team with more recent runs of success. Also, this picture of Troy Polamalu is awesome. I was right next to the giant Steelers’ flag that is waving […]

Interesting read here. LaMarr Woodley, the Steelers’ 2nd round draft pick, is updating Yahoo Sports with a recurring rookie journal. His first entry is a great glimpse into the life of one of the newest Steelers. Apparently, Woodley is confused with the geography/roadways of his new city. Don’t feel bad, Wood, it happens to a […]

Last week, I pledged my allegiance to the University of Delaware men’s lacrosse team. Pittsburgh has no current professional lacrosse team, and I figured I’d give my full support to the team that I was closest to at that particular point. PSaMP was on its mini vacation, and I found myself in Newark, Delaware, just […]

It is way too early on a Sunday, and I've already been awake for way too long. I'm flying to New York City for an interview, but also to see my sisters. Walking through Pittsburgh International Airport, I was happy to see a life-size depiction of Franco Harris and the Immaculate Reception, but I also […]

These are my two Roberto Clemente cards (yeah, him again). My buddy Ronnie gave me the one on the left back in the 2nd grade (2nd graders rule). The one on the right is the reason that these cards made the list. It came in a pack of City Pride bread from Giant Eagle back […]

Alright, this isn't a can, but it is one of my favorite pieces of memorabilia. This is my hat from when I played minor league baseball (one step above t-ball, not one step below the majors, ya nerd). I got to meet Willie Stargell, and Pops autographed my hat. Needless to say, I never wore […]

Yet another Clemente commemorative can. That was a theme in Pittsburgh at a certain point. This one is at least 15 years old, and Bob's image graces a Hires Root Beer can. I barely remember Hires Root Beer, but a picture of Clemente ensures that this can will never be thrown away.

Big Clemente theme in my family. If you don't like/respect Clemente, then you can piss off. These oldass Iron City cans will never be thrown away, and they inform me that Bob hit .311 in 1956, his 2nd season. Bob Walk informed me during one of the recent Bucco games that Clemente only walked 13 […]

Or Part 2 if you count the Hagen ice cream bucket. Did I mention a back-to-back commemorative Coca-Cola can? Oh hell yes I did! Here it is. And it doesn’t have that horrible triangular logo with the decapitated penguin head on top. Its the always cool human-like penguin that is wielding a hockey stick. More […]

…You can walk into any room of your parents’ house and expect to find some indication of a past local sports accomplishment. As soon as I mentioned my distaste for that ugly triangular Penguins logo yesterday, I knew it would pop up in an unlikely place. Of course, I walked into a spare bedroom in […]

What? Penguins news! Its been awhile, but PSaMP felt it was time to finally move past the disheartening playoff loss to the Senators, and give an update on your Pittsburgh Penguins. Plus, I wanted an excuse to post this badass Pens’ logo from the ’68 season. Its simplicity makes it a PSaMP favorite. Much better […]
