Dock Ellis, one of baseball's greatest personalities - and a damn fine pitcher for a few years - wore hair curlers on the field during warmups in 1973. The league commissioner ordered him to stop (because ... ?).
Ellis often called out racial prejudice in baseball and society. In this case he observed "They didn’t put any orders about [Yankees player] Joe Pepitone when he wore a hairpiece down to his shoulders.” American legend. 🫡

Pittsburgh's Golden Triangle is very walkable and many attractions are within walking distance from each other. This self-guided walking tour covers the highlights in architecture, history and culture.

Wife and I relocating to #Pittsburgh area Oct/Nov. If anyone here knows of a one or 2 BR apartment where rent & utils would go for around $2000./month or has an out of box idea of how to find one (already scouring Zillow, Craigslist, etc), give me a shout if you would. Boosts are appreciated.
Ran my first-ever #Pittsburgh #Parkrun today! Official time 24:28 over 3.17mi, otherwise my fastest 5k this year: 23:50 at 7'40"/mi (still way off from 21:05 last year)! Not very hot but 90+% humid. It was a cozy Parkrun started by Pat and with volunteer Will today -- they need more runners to join the fun!

Flew in on a redeye and had first run in #Pittsburgh in ~20 years! 7 easy miles along the Monongahela on the South Side Trail: lots has changed, but plenty still felt like home.
Paused 40min in mile 2 to take a meeting. HR stayed Z2 the whole way and got VO₂max 54, almost my all-time high (54.3)!
Can't wait to run tomorrow's #Parkrun @ Pittsburgh!

Die Anschläge von Oslo und Utøya sind eine Blaupause für #RechterTerror. Am 5. Jahrestag bezog sich der Täter des #OEZ-Anschlags in #München auf dieses Vorbild. Auch die rechten Terroristen von #Pittsburgh, #Christchurch, #Poway, #ElPaso und #Halle wurden dadurch motiviert.

Hello from my home office in Pittsburgh where 10 days ago we were worried about pipes freezing and now its hot as balls.

We had tiny bit of snow accumulation here in #pittsburgh overnight.
Somehow, these towers almost look like a lock and a key for each other at this angle, even if the scale is entirely off.
