Pittsburgh has always revered its sports stars. The likes of “Mean” Joe Greene, Roberto Clemente, and Mario Lemieux are forever celebrated in the cities’ sports lore, as they truly embodied the city during their playing days. To become a legend in any sports city, you have to first start with your debut, rising to the challenge of making the professional ranks and impressing the people in the stands that came to watch you play. Not all debuts are created equally, and that showed in the highly anticipated debut of pitcher Paul Skenes this weekend against the Chicago Cubs.
