Pittsburgh Pennsylvania has been named the number one sports city in the United States and Canada according to the sporting news. It's the first time Pittsburgh received this honor and I'm wondering why?
Basically it's because Pittsburgh does not have a pro basketball team and the Pittsburgh Pirates have the worst record in baseball almost every year. This dramatically hurts Pittsburgh in the rankings. But because the Steelers won the Super Bowl last year and the Penguins won the Stanley Cup, the city could not be denied this year.
Congratulations Pittsburghers, the rest of the country is recognizing what a great sports city we really are.
And yes, Sidney Crosby does look small compared to big Ben. Crosby is 5 foot 11, 200 pounds, big Ben is 6 foot five and 241 pounds....... Crosby just plays like a giant on the ice. The Penguins play at home tonight, let's go pens!
