Bruce Dal Canton / Former Pirates pitcher Dies

From the Post-Gazette

Bruce Dal Canton spent four decades in professional baseball as a pitcher, coach, mentor and ultimately a teacher, sharing his knowledge of pitching with All-Stars and those who labored in minor league obscurity.

For any kid with a glove and an armful of dreams who came of age in the tumultuous 1960s, he was the prime example that the son of a coal miner who pitched on the sandlots of southwestern Pennsylvania could make it to the major leagues.
