Pittsburgh's Greatest Sports Hero

... G'day Sporting people,

This is another great thread... And rather direct.

WHO - in yer opinion - is Pittsburgh's Greatest sports hero.

And WHY?

... Have a go, mates!

Bruno Sammartino

... Hmmmm... Surely know-of him, mate.
Wrestling Champion for many years.

And a rather stalwart citizen and representative
for the city!

Roberto Clemente.

I don’t have heroes. But Pittsburgh has many sports legends. Josh Gibson was an Icon. A tragic one. Probably a better power hitter than the great Bambino. He never got his chance at the Big Leagues. He died a broken man. Arnold Palmer, the King. Clemente, no question. Lemieux, for sure. These guys are iconic. Pittsburgh has a rich sports history. Many greats were born here or played here.

... How 'bout Paul Spadafora? .... I'm told that
he could surely hit hard.

Spadafora is near the top of my list of overhyped bums

The great one, Clemente
And Mario

I would put them 1a and 1 b

So was Arnie. That’s why they called him the King.

Bambino I was referring to his Tarzan days. I thought you’d get that but regardless good for Arnie.

Coming from an outsider. Id have to say that its overwhelmingly Roberto Clemente.

I did miss his “latter” days. Suffice it to say, neither had a problem getting laid!!!!!
