1975 Topps football card of Steelers running back Rocky Bleier
1971 Topps football card of Bears middle linebacker Dick Butkus
I don't know what surprises me more:
- The Steelers are 1-12 against the Bears in Chicago
- In over 90 years the Steelers have played just 13 games against the Bears in Chicago
- The Steelers played almost as many games in Chicago against the *Cardinals* (who left Chicago after 1959)
Legends of the pod!

Words and images from Vincent Ciaramella. The Josh Gibson Foundation does it again. Born in Barbados, Alexander McDonald “AM” Williams opened the first Black owned and operated baseball stadium in the United States, predating Greenly Field by a decade and some change. He was in an unmarked grave until this week but no more, thanks to the generous donations to the Josh Gibson Memorial Markers Project.

Alexander Williams, the person behind the first Black owned and operated ballpark, was in an unmarked grave for decades in Highwood Cemetery. No more. Thanks to the Josh Gibson Fndtn and donors, he now has a headstone.

71 years ago today, the Pittsburgh Pirates selected a promising 20-year-old outfielder named Roberto Clemente from the Brooklyn Dodgers in that era's equivalent of the Rule 5 draft.
Clemente had played for the Montreal Royals in 1954.
