The news of Ken Griffey Jr.’s retirement from baseball brought back a lot of youthful memories for me. He was always my favorite baseball player, and I bet I share that thought with countless others. There’s no rhyme or reason to this post…just wanted to get everything in one place. That swing. Even though I’m […]

Thanks to Penshead for this. It’s another from his trip-to-Pittsburgh series. He also snapped some pics of some Pens shirts, but I’ve been purposefully staying away from posting Penguins stuff in the Great Moments feature. The loss is still too fresh. As was the case with that other one from this set, this picture comes […]

Say what you want about Three Rivers Stadium…we know it was old and valued capacity and efficiency over fan comfort. But I have some ridiculous memories from that place, all from calling a rare Tony Pena home run to watching the Steelers lose to the Eagles after a nonsense onside kick call gave Philly the […]

Do yourself a favor and watch this CBS promo shot from 1981. When was the last time you saw an ad for The Waltons, Kenny Rogers America and Knot’s Landing all at the same time? Oh, and Kenny Rogers makes sure to include “Bette Davis Eyes” singer Kim Carnes and the Pittsburgh Steelers in this […]

Thanks to Adam for this. He says: “Not sure if you’ve been sent this t-shirt.  I think this was a gift from my Mom after the last Super Bowl Championship.  A great shirt that lists all of the great years along with the detail of using the same Font of the Super Bowl logo from […]

Thanks to Stephen for this. He’s a pilot and Steelers fan from California who had never been to Pittsburgh, until last weekend. I’ll let Stephen do the explaning on this one: “I’m from California, but I’ve been a Steelers fan for about half my life now. Thing is, I’ve never been to the ‘burgh. People […]

(from this LiveJournal page via Deadspin) And it’s bloggers that get the bad rap of being lazy, pantless slobs. Damn athletes get all the perks.

Thanks to Debb for this. Here’s the description: “Yes sadly, as the Cap fans have told the Pens fans, THE mill in Pittsburgh is closed. The same ONE that fueled all the American steel industry for years. Now that you’ve lost your mill job, do you need a shirt to help with the wallowing? These […]

Modern medicine needs to pay better attention to the Bret Michaels case. He had a massive brain hemorrage, then a warning stroke and doctors then found a hole in his heart. And despite all that, he’s recovering, made his way to the Apprentice season finale last night and plans on going back on tour with […]

Thanks to Rob for this. If I didn’t use this shirt here soon, that horrifying yellow giant would eventually punch my face off with that sadistic ring-fist. Sidenote: If you’ve sent me unlicensed stuff and I haven’t used it yet…I’m getting to it. You guys have just sent in more than I can keep up […]

Isn’t that what people things on motorcycles do? First saw this via PensTV’s

It’s been like 2 weeks since we last checked in with the Pittsburgh Passion here, and they’ve had 2 games in that time. They went 1-1 with a loss against the New York Sharks and a rebounding win over the Baltimore Nighthawks. I bet the Nighthawks are ugly. So the Passion now stand at 4-2 […]

Not linking this piece of trash. Don’t ever go to PirateReport.com, which is owned by the Nutting family. Their insanity has reached new heights. This Paul Ladewski character strongly implies that the Penguins are a disappointment for, QUOTE, having “gone belly-up in the playoffs for the fourth time in five years in the Sidney Crosby […]

Thanks to now-infamous Pens fan Wayne for this. He snapped this pic and a bunch of other unlicensed pieces when he stopped by the Strip District for Game 5 against the Canadiens. As is the case with most unlicensed pieces that we’ve seen here at PSAMP, there are no official team names shown. Those are […]
