Pirates’ Steve Blass, Greg Brown swap spring training stories, excited for Paul Skenes in Year 2
On his weekly Saturday Conversations podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey welcomes current and former Pirates broadcasters Greg Brown and Steve Blass to talk spring trainings past and present.
What are Steve’s best memories from springs in his MLB career? What does he remember about pitching to Yankees legend Mickey Mantle? How has Greg and Steve’s relationship evolved over years of sharing a broadcast booth? And why has humor remained an important piece of it?
They also get into some of Steve’s favorite Roberto Clemente stories; a wild night with Mike Lange at a Mexican restaurant; and their hops for the 2025 season with Paul Skenes and Mitch Keller leading the rotation.
