Pittsburgh isn't fancy, but it is real. It's a working town and money doesn't come easy. I feel as much a part of this city as the cobblestone streets and the steel mills, people in this town expect an honest day's work, and I've it to them for a long, long time.
Willie Stargell
Unfortunately, inner feelings and potential are often stunted by our parents, relatives or peers.
Willie Stargell
You only have a few years to play this game and you can't play it if you're all tied up in knots.
