The Ones Who Hit the Hardest: The Steelers, the Cowboys, the '70s, and the Fight for America's Soul | Shawn Coyne, Chad Millman

I really enjoyed this book! I like how it alternated the story of the team with the story of what the city was dealing with during the 70‘s. It never occurred to me before reading this that some of the fanaticism for the team could actually be related to the cyclical layoffs of the steelworkers.

Could there be a better juxtaposition than reading about Mean Joe Greene while relaxing in bath-bombed water? 🏈 🛁 🤣

The_Penniless_Author This book sounds tailor-made for me! 🏈 3y

keys_on_fire @The_Penniless_Author So far, I‘m really enjoying it. Not only is it a chronicle of the Steelers/Cowboys rivalry, it is telling the history of Pittsburgh‘s steel town roots. Having grown up there, it‘s like taking a trip back home! 3y

The_Penniless_Author @keys_on_fire I'm from there too. (Well, technically I grew up in rural western PA and didn't move to Pittsburgh proper until after college, but still...) 3y

keys_on_fire @The_Penniless_Author wow! Small world! I too, grew up all over western rural PA. Just easier to say Pittsburgh when you‘re not sure if people know the area! 😄 You‘ve got me beat on living in the city though! It‘s fun to find these little connections 3y

The_Penniless_Author @keys_on_fire I hear you ? I always just say "Pittsburgh", too. I think everyone from western PA does. And really, spiritually/culturally, I think most of western PA is the same. There are quite a few Pennsylvanians on here, I've noticed. 3y
