Mount Savage Strongboy

[edit]

The main article currently states that "announcer Bob Prince called Robertson The Mount Savage Strongboy" and offers two references. I have doubts about this.

I listened to about 75% of the Pirates games on radio and TV from 1970 through '75. I don't recall *ever* hearing Prince use that nickname. Instead, what I recall hearing was "The Maryland Strongboy".

Both references are from the Cumberland Times-News. In fact, the first reference does *not* claim Prince used that nickname, but rather the similar "Mount Savage StrongMAN." Neither article itself offers any references. I suspect "Mount Savage Strongboy" was a nickname used locally (Cumberland is about 10 miles from Mount Savage). I certainly never heard Prince use it. 2601:98A:4100:1620:C0C8:C960:B445:3FE3 (talk) 18:38, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A change might be in order if--and only if--a reliable source can be found. Pemilligan (talk) 14:15, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
