商品簡介
"Just a kid from the First Ward" is how Art Rooney humbly refers to himself in The Chief. The son of a saloon owner, Rooney was also a boxer, baseball player, bootlegger, gambler, and owner of one of the most successful football franchises of all time. He was a Pittsburgh icon, entrepreneur, patriarch, and humanist. Nicknamed "The Chief" by two of his sons after a character on the 1950s television series Superman, Rooney was forever linked with that moniker - though no one would say it to his face.
Based on the journal writings of Art Rooney Jr., with input from other family members, colleagues, and friends, The Chief is a one-man play that faithfully reenacts the larger-than-life persona of Art Rooney. Playwrights Gene Collier and Rob Zellers recreate the words, deeds, and essence of this paragon of Pittsburgh sports as he reminisces, in his gruff but affable style, about his tough upbringing on Pittsburgh's North Side and the family, friends, politicians, and outlandish adventures that shaped his life. He also recounts the colorful history of the Pittsburgh Steelers, from the foibles and frustrations of the early days to the great Super Bowl runs of the 1970s, and offers insights on the characters of many of his beloved players.
Reproduced in print for the first time, the work is complemented by photographs of Rooney, his family, and members of the Steelers.
