Caliguiri, a popular democratic mayor of Pittsburgh who served from 1978-1988 and died while in office of a rare disease, amyloidosis. He is best known for his urban renewal programs which helped lead the city out of the dying steel industry and into technology development, shaping the area as it is known today, especially improving the air quality. Symbolically, by the end of his last term no active steel mill remained within city limits. He is honored by the Pirates for his last minute efforts to prevent the team from moving when the franchise was sold during the mid 80's due to poor performance and dwindling attendance in the wake of the 1985 cocaine trials. Caliguiri put together a consortium of local business owners to hold the team until a new buyer could be found who would keep the team in Pittsburgh. The effort was successful and after years of losing the Pirates finally produced NL East championships in '90, '91, '92.Jeffrey Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15079647714239923829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999088286115850898.post-44816684858895100112008-10-31T12:53:00.000-07:002008-10-31T12:53:00.000-07:00Yes, me and Fred McGriff... and Vanilla Ice.Yes, me and Fred McGriff... and Vanilla Ice.maddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08493650721714521989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999088286115850898.post-11613416274387960562008-10-31T10:44:00.000-07:002008-10-31T10:44:00.000-07:00Happy birthday.
