I’ve gotta figure that if the E-trade baby were born in Pittsburgh’s St. Clair Hospital, he’d now be ramming the dog with his head and trying to open daddy’s beer cooler rather than exploring the nuances of the stock market. What chance does he have, really, when moments after being born he’s wrapped in a Terrible Towel, with a Steelers knit hat slapped onto onto his tiny head? A life of Pabst Blue Ribbon and running into traffic like this awaits. Chartiers Valley Patch has the story:
“They’re born Steelers fans here in Pittsburgh,” said Sharon Johnson, clinical supervisor at the hospital’s Family Birth Center.
The staff at the hospital in Mt. Lebanon wrapped up 10 newborns in the towels Friday in celebration of the Steelers’ run to Super Bowl XLV. Each baby born this week at the hospital will also be wrapped up in the black and gold, a tradition the staff also did in 2008.
Sadly, this hospital, and perhaps Steelers fans in general, have no sense of humor. Otherwise the staff would have wrapped one of the babies in a Carolina Panthers blanket, just to see the horrified parents scream and claw at the glass.

How sad and pathetic, those towels alone prove that all steeler fans are morons cause only a moron would waive that thing. Lets hope Green Bay does the rest of the world a favor and beat up the classless squeelers
