@Pirates @SNPittsburgh Griffin should show him his helmet. Literally a white mark from the ball on the bill.

@TerryinSoCalif @Pirates Literally how every one of these goes. They just caught it on camera. Ended up with autographed bat and a hat. Fair trade IMO.

Widely considered one of the best to ever play the game, Mario Lemieux rose to prominence with the @QMJHL's Laval Voisins before a storied career with the @penguins made him one of the most recognizable names in the history of hockey.

Now, 'Le Magnifique' takes his place at no. 1 on the list of the CHL's Top 50 players of the past 50 years! #CHL50

Reminder that in his final year at Laval, Mario Lemieux scored 133 goals and 149 assists for 282 points in 70 games.

282 points in 70 games.

No one else should even be considered for number one on this list.

He scored 542 points in 200 QMJHL games.

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.
