The Phillies went on the road tonight to face the Pirates in Pittsburgh. Nothing says "Pittsburgh" more to me than the Pirates, unless it is the Steelers, Primanti Brothers, Three Rivers, or George Washington starting a world war with the French in the 18th century. In baseballing terms, though, the Pirates and Phillies are my childhood - We Are Family vs. the Dallas Green Misanthropes...Cocaine vs. Greenies...Tekulve vs. McGraw. Endless hours on the Turnpike! I miss the old Phillies-Pirates games, and used to think there ought to be more, but the fires have burned out.
