Local sports author, Jim Wexell, brings us a coffee table book all about the Pittsburgh Steelers. We hope you'll be joining us! Want to pre-order a copy of the book? You can do so here. About the Author: Jim Wexell is in his 30th season covering the Pittsburgh Steelers and has spent over 40 years covering Pittsburgh sports since graduating from the University of Pittsburgh in 1983. Born in Chicago, the former Bears fan has now written six books about the Steelers during and after covering the team through four Super Bowl appearances. A relentless researcher, Jim has put all he’s accumulated from his 30 years of covering the team into this book. About the book: Heading into the 2024 season, no team has won more Super Bowls than the Pittsburgh Steelers and no team has won more games since the merger. The Steelers won their 500th post-merger game late in the 2022 season. Prior to the modern era, the Steelers struggled but they persevered through the wiles of founder Art Rooney. As a young athlete growing up on the North Side of Pittsburgh, Rooney not only learned the sporting game, he learned politics, which helped him nurture the struggling young Steelers through their barnstorming days of the 1920s, their initial foray into the NFL in the 1930s, their topsy-turvy survival skills of the 1940s, and then into the rugged 1950s as they learned how to win. That winning came in the form of Buddy Parker and Bobby Layne in the late part of that decade and into the 1960s, but it was Art’s oldest son, Dan Rooney, who showed the city the importance of not only the draft but stability in the coaching ranks. Those are the ingredients Chuck Noll used to put together four Super Bowl champions during the 1970s. After Noll came the long-tenured coaching careers of Bill Cowher and Mike Tomlin, who also won Lombardi Trophies. The details of this incredible history are unraveled within this book, a richly researched masterpiece that will surprise and inform even the hardest-core of the hardcore Steelers Nation.

A majestic tower in Pittsburgh that defines the city. It stands tall and magnificent in its glory.

Cathedral of Learning

In fact, this place has nothing to do with the church, or we can only say that its appearance is like an ancient European cathedral. This is a teaching building, but it is very magnificent and beautiful, and you can go in and take a look inside.
