Lists make for lively discussions, arguments and the tossing back of a few beers. (Although we do not condone nasty arguments that can lead to emotional scarring, we are in favor of conversation and Penn Pilsner.) There are the records, where we know that Hank Aaron holds the most glamorous of all sporting achievements by crushing 755 home runs in his non-chemically altered major league career. There are the rankings, each year a source of controversy in college football. And there are those truly arcane listings and records: Most home runs hit on a birthday (5-held by Alex Rodriguez and Al Simmons). If you can dream it, you can create a list for it. So, at last we get to the reason we're gathered here: To select and celebrate the Steel City 100, the greatest athletes in Western Pennsylvania history. How did we choose the 100, you may ask, and was there beer involved? Carefully and yes. We cast a wide net in determining what athletes and indeed what sports to include. Among the 100 you'll find the expected football, baseball, hockey and basketball players. But you'll also find boxers, swimmers, jockeys, wrestlers, sprinters, long jumpers, golfers and tennis players-and a whole host of others who competed in individual sports. We have a number of Hall of Famers. Some from Cooperstown and Canton as well as the Basketball, Hockey, College Football, Track, and Soccer Halls of Fame just to name a few. It is truly a celebration of the incredible history of sports in this area, and one that will always be talked about and debated...yes with the beer flowing of course.
