I was sitting here in the recovery room, waiting for my wife to come out of surgery, watching ESPN and voting for Romulo. ESPN ran their screwy Mt. Rushmore of Sports idea. Then it hit me, and I forsook Romulo.
The Pirates should drop the Bobble head idea and go for a Mt. Washington, or Mt. Washingtonmore(?), of Pittsburgh. At least Pittsburgh broadcasters. The Pirates should honor the most valued voices in the city’s sports teams histories.
They should do a Mt. Washmore (?) with the heads of Lanny Frattare, Bob “The Gunner” Prince, Mike Lange and the unforgettable Myron Cope. Drop the fan vote bobble head and do a thank you to the voices of Pittsburgh.
Yes, I voted Lanny. It would be a nice tribute to him after his retirement as announce after the 2008 season. Honor the man by giving him a BIG head. After all, he has suffered through the pain of this team for as long as any of us, and he never missed games. At least we could turn the game off when they frustrated the hell out of us.
Sorry Romulo. Sorry Honus. I have to back Lanny.

Firstly...I hope your wife is doing well.
I was so excited to see you voting for Romulo. The support is greatly appreciated.
However, I view Lanny as an equal to Honus. Why honor a great Pittsburgh broadcaster with such a silly thing as a bobblehead? It degrades what the man has done for Pittsburgh broadcasting and for the effort he has put in these past 16 years to entertain the shrinking fan base.
At the same time, whenever you saw Lanny on TV you saw not much more than his head. Thus, a bobble head would make good sense. Wouldn't it?
That is also why I thought a Mt. Rushmore might be a better fit.
