reviewed Double Yoi! on April 05, 2008 Double Yoi!
A critical part of reading this book was hearing Myron's voice in my head as I read it. It's so full of unique Pittsburgh stuff, and reading it reminded me of what a great place I come from, and what a great man Myron was. I'm not sure that someone who didn't grow up in Pittsburgh would understand or appreciate this book, but it does so much to show that Pittsburgh is about more than just the Steelers, and the Myron was more than the guy who invented the Terrible Towel.
Myron was a great writer from a very different era of sports writing. To Pittsburghers of my generation, the radio show and color commentary was more familiar, but his craft was writing, and he was a star. His legacy is far greater than the towel.
