I kept this story in my pocket for a long time.... In Pittsburgh, September 15th is Roberto Clemente Day. Every year the whole organization fans out across the city. It's like Christmas. Roberto's family is there, Vera and the boys. My first year as manager was 2011. We celebrated. We shook hands and moved on. We didn't win. 19 consecutive losing seasons. 2012 rolls around. Same day, same celebration. We had another losing season, our 20th consecutive. After the ceremony, Roberto Jr. walked over. "My mom wants to talk to you." We went into the dugout. Me, Vera, and her three sons. She spoke in Spanish. I played four years of winter ball so I understood enough. She wasn't angry, but she was passionate. And I kept hearing Roberto's number come up. Roberto Jr. translated. "My mother wants you to know that there cannot be a 21st losing season. That was Roberto's number. It would be a disgrace to his legacy." She was staring right at me. Before I could even think about what to say, words came out of my mouth: "I promise you, Vera. That won't happen." Roberto Jr. looked at me and said, "You made my mom a promise. I hope you can keep it." I said, "I hope I can keep it too." I didn't tell my coaches. I didn't tell the players. I told my wife. That was it. The next year, 2013, we broke the consecutive seasons losing streak. Ended it at 20. On Roberto Clemente Day that September, Vera came walking across that field. And I probably got one of the most meaningful hugs I've ever received in my life. The players did all the heavy lifting. I just got the hug. Some promises are worth making before you know if you can keep them. @Pirates

🇦🇪 Footage from a UAE league game in 1976 between Al-Ain and Al-Wahda. No foreign players, barely a stadium, just desert all around… compared to the UAE today, it’s TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS. 🌍

The #Pittsburgh #Penguins are now on a 5 game losing streak including the playoffs. Been out scoured 22-10 in that timeframe. Can’t happen. Running out of gas here at the end of season/playoffs, when others are gaining momentum . Phenomenal coaching/physicality by the #Flyers

The #Flyers defense is elite. #Pens have zero chance in this series. Phenomenal game plan.

Let’s go, Will! Show ‘em what you got!!

This is probably the most incredible baseball photo I've ever seen.

Deontay #Wilder should consider opening up more in his next interview.

Dubai, you beauty.

Avoid getting charged with attempted murder

Cruz, get ready to learn DH buddy!!

#Rome marathon completed 🏅

Pittsburgh Public Schools will operate remotely from April 22–24 as the city prepares to host the 2026 NFL Draft. With road closures, heightened security, parking restrictions, and heavy traffic expected, the city believes remote learning is the best option during that time.

Brilliant

I would hate to be the .07 that voted otherwise. You hate to see it.

Hi @OfficialADCB when I call 600-502-030 I can't get through for telephone banking to talk to someone like I have always been able to in the past. Are the phone lines down? Plz advise.

Dude annoying his girlfriend with songs about her is hilarious.
