A wonderful piece in today's Post-Gazette about the first owner of the Pirates and his enshrinement in the Hall of Fame. (Another nice hat!)
"In the eulogy delivered at Rodef Shalom Temple, prior to burial at West View Cemetery, Dr. Samuel Goldenson said, "Here was a man who elevated a mere sport to the dignity of an honorable and magnificent business. ... It is fair play we have most need of in the world, and this man made it the object of his life.""

There's also a companion piece on the Cooperstown web site.
