Growing up a Steelers fan in Pittsburgh set the stage for Derek Law becoming part of the talk about the Giants’ win over the Cubs in Game 3 of the NLDS on Monday night.
Law’s football-fan background had nothing to do with his two scoreless, hitless innings of relief as the Giants pulled out a 6-5, 13-inning victory. Having experience waving the Steelers’ “Terrible Towels” did make Law a topic of conversation among fans.
In fact, he said Tuesday afternoon that he had received much more recognition for his towel-waving in the dugout than he did for shutting down Chicago’s bats.
