"If we lose this game, I'll walk back to Pittsburgh."
On this date in 1989, Pirates broadcaster Jim Rooker made that promise after Pittsburgh scored 10 runs in the 1st inning.
The Pirates lost 15-11.
And Rooker actually walked the 300+ miles back to Pittsburgh.

@B7frankH i give that father a lot of credit. i wouldnβt have been able to contain myself as well as he did. If a grown man did that to my 9 year old daughter.. all those around me would have to be pulling me off of that man.
