PITTSBURGH – Dick LeBeau turns 87 in early September, but you would never know it by his performance Sunday.
And yes, he turned in a performance at the official launch of his book, “Legendary: The 2008 Pittsburgh Steelers, The Zone Blitz, And My Six Decades In The NFL.”
Literally.
During a panel discussion that featured LeBeau, Casey Hampton, Chris Hoke and Brett Keisel (several players who were going to attend ran into travel issues), a fan asked LeBeau to recite a verse from “Twas The Night Before Christmas.”
At the end of the discussion held at the Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum, LeBeau stood up and recited the whole dang thing by rote.
