Evening with Steve Blass

Sports nostalgia is the best kind of nostalgia. Enjoy this "Blass from the Past" in an Evening with Steve Blass. The legendary Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher joins host John McIntire of KDKA at the Oaks Theater for an intimate discussion about the glory days of baseball. Blass, famous for pitching two complete game victories in the 1971 World Series, will reminisce about the times when a pitcher going the distance was normal. Blass will even delve into the “Steve Blass disease,” when he inexplicably lost control of his pitches after the 1972 season. His downward slide was so prominent that players and sportswriters began using the term anytime players’ talent fell from grace so quickly. Autographs and a meet-and-greet follow the show.
