74 Hustle

"'74 Hustle" tells the story of an ordinary man who talked his way into an extraordinary situation. It is a fantastic journey through the famed Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, former home of quite possibly the greatest football team to have ever played and surely the greatest team of the 1970s. Author Peter Cannizzaro was fortunate enough to be the personal guest of the 1974 Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers for their twenty-five year reunion on a fateful night in October, 1999-during a regular Monday night Steelers game. Although Cannizzaro is a native of Louisiana, he is a lifelong fan of the Steelers who had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be in Pittsburgh at the same time that the Steelers celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of their amazing Super Bowl win. By chance, he met a '74 Steelers team member. Through a turn of events, the author found himself meeting team members. "'74 Hustle" takes you on the bus ride with the team to the game, to the extravagant pre-game party, on the sidelines for the whole game, and on the most amazing bus ride home. Experience the most amazing NFL play-the "'74 Hustle."
