I don't follow the NFL as much as I did as a kid, but the Steelers is the team I call my favorite team (although the Chiefs are fun to watch). I became a Steelers fan in the early 70's shortly before they hit the bigtime.
So why the trip down memory lane? Franco Harris has passed. RIP Franco.

I am shocked! Being a long time born and raised Pittsburgh fan, I had the pleasure to meet him in Hawaii in the mid 70’s. Such a gracious and humble man. My 6 year old son wouldn’t get out of the car and Franco went over and coaxed him out to throw a couple. The next day, the host of the party dropped by my house with a signed football from Franco Harris. My son still has it. RIP Franco.
