I kept this story in my pocket for a long time....

In Pittsburgh, September 15th is Roberto Clemente Day.

Every year the whole organization fans out across the city. It's like Christmas. Roberto's family is there, Vera and the boys.

My first year as manager was 2011. We celebrated. We shook hands and moved on.
We didn't win.

19 consecutive losing seasons.

2012 rolls around. Same day, same celebration. We had another losing season, our 20th consecutive.

After the ceremony, Roberto Jr. walked over.

"My mom wants to talk to you."

We went into the dugout. Me, Vera, and her three sons.

She spoke in Spanish. I played four years of winter ball so I understood enough. She wasn't angry, but she was passionate. And I kept hearing Roberto's number come up.

Roberto Jr. translated.

"My mother wants you to know that there cannot be a 21st losing season. That was Roberto's number. It would be a disgrace to his legacy."

She was staring right at me.

Before I could even think about what to say, words came out of my mouth:
"I promise you, Vera. That won't happen."

Roberto Jr. looked at me and said, "You made my mom a promise. I hope you can keep it."

I said, "I hope I can keep it too."

I didn't tell my coaches. I didn't tell the players. I told my wife. That was it.

The next year, 2013, we broke the consecutive seasons losing streak. Ended it at 20.

On Roberto Clemente Day that September, Vera came walking across that field.

And I probably got one of the most meaningful hugs I've ever received in my life.

The players did all the heavy lifting. I just got the hug.

Some promises are worth making before you know if you can keep them.

@Sportsnet @FriedgeHNIC Makes perfect sense. Girls grassroots hockey is huge in Michigan and they host some of the biggest tourneys

The fact no university in the State, including hockey hotbeds UM and MSU have D1 women’s hockey has always been mind blowing

New pet peeve unlocked this week…

Able bodied hotel guests who insist on using the elevator to/from the 2nd floor with no luggage

[Bryce Davidson 🧢 @MuskokaCoach18]

I have said before I think it’s a little bit weird for grown men to wear current players sports jerseys

However today I was at Universal Studios Florida and saw multiple grown men dressed up as Harry Potter who weren’t employees

Definitely weirder 🤪

Hey @odognine2 @HayesTSN @jamiemclennan29 @OverDrive1050 how about you bring on Dougie, Wendel, Darcy, Mats, Roberts etc… and ask them what it was like to play in Tor? We have just about had enough of these ex players, that never played here, telling everyone how hard it is…
