What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is incongruent, is it not, Limits? It's wonderful. Here comes Mark. He's removing part-time pomp.
Why did you remove pomp and not cookie? He can't talk because he has pizza in his mouth. Fan Twitter brought to you by South Hills Kia Peters Township. Visit them at southhillskia.net. And the text line on which you can communicate with our dear friend City Limits. Brought to you by Edgar Snyder and Associates, a personal injury law firm where they always say there's never a fee unless we get money for you. Did anybody weigh in on the text line? We have to do more text readings, I think, Limits, and keep our texters happy, either on Three Rivers Stadium, lineups, cabali, colonoscopies, anything we discussed in the first hour.
Yeah, somebody on the text line says the Three Rivers memory they have going to the 94 All-Star Game. Lily Stargell threw out the first pitch. Meatloaf sang the anthem. Jim Whelan coached their base and waved Tony Glenn home to win in the bottom of the 10th. That's incredible.
Mark Caballi brought to you by Keystone Custom Apparel, the region's premier spirit wear and sports uniform provider. How are you, big boy?
I'm wonderful.
How are you? I'm good, and thank you for inquiring. Give me a Three River Stadium memory for the big boy.
Wow. I almost caught a foul ball from Lenny Harris. Really?
Did you miss it?
Did you drop it? Skipped school one day. It was like a 12-35 getaway game. I don't know if it was the Dodgers or Reds. I'm not quite sure of who he played for at the time.
Yeah.
Ball was hit up into the press box area. I anticipated bouncing back out of the press box that was behind home plate. Yes. Here it comes right at me. And I grabbed the guy's hand next to me rather than the ball. Closest I ever came to catching a ball. You tried to box out.
That's okay. I respect you for that. What about football? Did you cover any games in there?
What are some memorable stories from Three Rivers Stadium?
Yes. Very few. It was... Let me think. Preseason game. I think it was Joey Porter's first preseason game. Did he rip Ben before the game? That and Devo. I think it was 99 maybe. He had a really good game, the preseason game. I think I covered the last Washington game there.
Well, that was the last game, right?
Yeah, I think I covered that one.
Do you remember who scored the Steelers' final touchdown at Three Rivers? Troy Edwards.
I have no idea.
Wrong. Richard Huntley.
What's his nickname?
Were you in the locker room when Huntley and Earl Holmes got in their fight?
No, that was before my time. I've heard that story many of times. Yeah. About the old wooden chair. Oh, yeah. Very WWE-like. Very much so. There's some words that were relayed to me about that day that I can't say on the air. Hmm. Were you in it?
Were you there? Yeah, I covered the Bills the week they came here. They came here twice for playoff games. I think this was the week they came here in 94 maybe when they pretty much ended the Bills AFC dynasty. by crushing them in a playoff game. And I covered them that week in Buffalo, and then I covered the game. Was that the Woodson interception one? I think so, yeah. I covered a Monday night game, too, with the Bills and the Steelers. They sent me over there. That was nice of them, actually. Now that I think about it, I think it was the late, great Dave Ailes and the late, great Rich Emmert who both made decisions to give me opportunities to cover stuff they thought I would enjoy covering. That was cool.
Who was your boss back then? The great Norm Vargo.
Really? Oh, yeah. Stormy Norman. From McKeesport. Yes. Before that, I was in Manessen, so it was the legendary Brian Herman. You remember him? No. Okay. Herman Munster. I don't remember him. Brian Herman, Jeff Oliver. Who else?
Should the Steelers consider drafting Ty Simpson in the first round?
Scoop Oliver. Norm Vargo. Then I took over for Norm in McKeesport in maybe 2002 or 2003. Yeah. Then he retired until... The Daily News met its ending about 10 years ago.
And then who was your boss at the Trib? Oh, Smitty. For the whole time?
Well, Smitty, there was a lot of different people there, right? They brought in, I mean, Frank Craig was still the publisher, I believe. And they made you the Steelers guy, didn't they?
