Three Rivers that Spawned: City of Champions

Author:

Gregory S Spalding

Binding:

Paperback

Info:

 
Three Rivers That Spawned The City Of Champions stands as Greg Spalding's fourth book and serves as a complete history of three of the most special decades in Pittsburgh sports history. Greg went to his first Pirate game in 1970 at the age of 12 and attended the last Bucco game at Three Rivers in 2000 at the ripe age of 42. So this book chronicles incredible memories, especially for a generation of fans who grew to love this edifice. Over the years, Greg has attended close to 700 games at Three Rivers, including a high of 66 Bucco games in 1991. Naturally, he attended several Steeler games as well. So few people can write about this edifice's history like Mr. Spalding. He has also written Sailing the Three Rivers to the Title, about the '71 Pirates, Shine! All-Stars, Shine!, a pictorial essay about the '94 MLB All-Star Game, and Run the Greatest Race, a work about running life's race. Greg served as the editor-publisher for Baseball's Best Kept Secret. the autobiography of Al Oliver. His City of Champions Publishing Company, which publishes books, offers desktop publishing services and English-Spanish translation, owes its name to the accomplishments of the teams at Three Rivers. Additionally, he serves as the Research Analyst for Sportsweek, a weekly national sports magazine show, hosted by former Cleveland Indian Tom McGough, produced locally at CTV. He lives with his wife Lilly and his son Carlos in the suburbs of the City of Champions!
