Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger spent 18 seasons under center at Heinz Field. Now he’s retired, and Heinz has a new name. And from the sounds of it, at the moment, he misses the stadium name more than the game, or at least practicing.
Roethlisberger threw out the first pitch before thee Pirates game yesterday, and Dan Potash got a chance to speak with him in the stands for a couple of minutes later on. He asked the father of three if he was now getting the itch to play with the Steelers being in Latrobe.
“Any itch that I have, I’m scratching by texting Pat Freiermuth right now, seeing how he’s doing and everything”, he said with a laugh.
