Jim Rooney’s first Steelers-related memory isn’t exactly related to a specific football game.
“I remember being in Miami for a game when I was about four years old,” Jim says. “Someone asked me for tickets and my mother grabbed my hand and gave the person a hard time.”
Soon after that, Franco Harris had a date with Destiny.
“I was six during the Immaculate Reception,” Jim says. “My mother didn’t take us to the games because the youngest kids were too annoying during the games. Those days have changed, but my mother didn’t put up with that.
