One of the lesser known Hall of Famers, but still very much loved in Pittsburgh.

You can quickly tell a person's age by what they remember about Ralph Kiner. Younger people remember him as the Mets broadcaster whereas old fogies like me think first of him as a Pirate.

I guess it also applies to Pie Traynor as well. Younger people recall him only for "Who can? Ameri-CAN!" on Studio Wrestling. :)
