Opening day is an incredible day each and every year!!! I will never forget my first one at pnc park!!! Passion. It lies in all of us. Sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted, unbidden, it will stir... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us... guides us. Passion rules us all. And we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we'd know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow. Empty rooms, shuttered and dank. Without passion, we'd be truly dead.

This is an incredibly special episode for us, as we were blessed to welcome the legendary Greg Brown. Hope you enjoy this as much as we did. Brown's association with the Pirates began in 1979, when he interned in the promotions department while attending Point Park University. He's now in his 30th year as a radio and TV play-by-play announcer with the Pirates. Only Lanny Frattare (33 years) has called more games as a play-by-play announcer than Brown, who has described the action of over 4,000 games in his career behind the mic. Known for his outgoing personality and passion for the ball club, the Emmy Award-winning broadcaster has made the phrase “Raise The Jolly Roger” synonymous with a Pirates victory and “Clear The Deck, Cannonball Coming” his signature home run call. Brown’s dedication and passion for the Pirates extends to his efforts away from the broadcast booth, as he makes numerous offseason appearances in the community, both in the Pittsburgh area and in Bradenton during spring training. 🎧 https://www.pitchinginpodcast.com/2134584/12545126-brownie-points 📺 https://youtu.be/H8l7FSZfirI Thank you for listening ...
