Thanks to Leslie Knope and her insane need for holidays on last night’s episode of Parks and Recreation, I have a new favorite holiday to celebrate. That’s right, every November 16th is Talk Like a Pittsburgh Pirate day which allows us, as a united nation, to say things like:
“If you hear any noise, it’s just me and the boys bopping.” - Dave Parker
“To me, baseball has always been a reflection of life. Like life, it adjusts. It survives everything.” - Willie Stargell
“The ball was small sometimes, the ball was large sometimes, sometimes I saw the catcher, sometimes I didn’t. Sometimes I tried to stare the hitter down and throw while I was looking at him. I chewed my gum until it turned to powder. I started having a crazy idea in the fourth inning that Richard Nixon was the home plate umpire, and once I thought I was pitching a baseball to Jimi Hendrix, who to me was holding a guitar and swinging it over the plate.” - Dock Ellis
“Errors are part of my game. One night in Pittsburgh, 30,000 fans gave me a standing ovation when I caught a hot dog wrapper on the fly.” - Dick Stuart
“Things were changing fast by that time, women were beginning to come to the ball parks. We had to stop cussing.” - Honus Wagner
“I’m going into Operation Shutdown.” - Derek Bell
“Any time you have an opportunity to make a difference in this world and you don’t, then you are wasting your time on Earth.” - Roberto Clemente
the convergence of two of the things I love most in this world
I went running along the Charles river during the lockdown, and I give no fucks about if that was wrong or not. oddly enough, lots of other people had the same idea; tons of runners/walkers were out.
It’s only two miles from the Mass Ave. bridge to the science museum. I thought it was more, but…
