Scottie Montgomery still remembers watching Dino Tomlin play baseball as a kid.
Back in his days as the Pittsburgh Steelers wide receivers coach, Montgomery and his infant son would accompany head coach Mike Tomlin as he attended the games at Frick Park. Coach Tomlin, being one of the most recognizable faces in town, was in full disguise mode. He watched his son’s games in a bucket hat and sunglasses, and the trio would sit hidden under a Sportbrella tent in the outfield.
“He wanted the kid to be able to play and not have all this hoopla around him,” Montgomery said.
