@MarkMaddenX It’s not my money but it’s still wasted money. What a dumbed down organization? Run it back and the results will be the same, or worse

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.

Let’s try this #SteelerNation…..

-We agree that expectations haven’t been met for some time.

-Let’s agree that the Steelers needed a change.

-Let’s agree that Coach T was no longer the answer.

Simultaneously….

-Pay respect to the man for the nearly 2 decades of tireless work & sacrifices.

-Try to understand that his impact for many of his players has extended much further than football and that the love you see from everyone is not an acceptance of his recent performance but rather stems from the culmination of a life long impact he’s had on me and many many others.

-Walk. Chew bubble gum. Maybe even wave. All at the same time. I promise you it’s possible.
