As a kid growing up in Michigan, the Pirates were the first team (other than my beloved Tigers) that I was a fan of. I started watching baseball all the time in 1979 - the year of the Pirates, ya know. Skipped seeing "The Empire Strikes Back" a second time in favor of staying home to see the Pirates on the NBC Game of the Week. Had a Pirates pillbox hat and threw submarine style in the backyard and against the garage all the time imitating Tekulve. Had his whole motion down pat. With a big wad of Big League Chew in my cheek to replicate his wad of chew. Was a big fan of his back then
Nice greencrow, got me again. That time before I even clicked on the thread I wondered to myself how a Kent Tekulve thread got 10 responses in one day. But never occured to me it was another ressurected Happy Birdthday thread. I won't get fooled again.
