Your PSR staff has learned that University of Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh Steeler play-by-play man Bill Hillgrove is a finalist for the Pirates General Manager position. Hillgorve, 74 a Baldwin native has no formal baseball experience. When contacted about Hillgrove Pirate owner Bob Nutting noted "Billy is a great guy and would be a great GM for anybody, I have not made a formal offer and prefer to not comment beyond that". When being prodded on his candidacy by Steeler sidekick Tunch Ilkin during a recent broadcast Hillgrove would only state "Stacked I formation, Kordell back to pass, no that's Big Ben on the whirly bird option! Wait...Rutgers ball???? Ramon for 3, it's in and out." Long time Hillgrove partner, friend, and former Pirate Dick Groat only managed a one word response when contacted by PSR "Wwwwoooooooow".
