{"product_id":"the-chief-rob-zellers-9780822943587","title":"The Chief","description":"Based on the journal writings of Art Rooney Jr., with input from other family members, colleagues, and friends, \u003ci\u003eThe Chief\u003c\/i\u003e is a one-man play that faithfully reenacts the larger-than-life persona of Pittsburgh icon Art Rooney, owner of one of the most successful football franchises of all time. Playwrights Gene Collier and Rob Zellers recreate the words, deeds, and essence of this paragon of Pittsburgh sports as he reminisces, in his gruff but affable style, about his tough upbringing on Pittsburgh's North Side and the family, friends, politicians, and outlandish adventures that shaped his life. He also recounts the colorful history of the Pittsburgh Steelers, from the foibles and frustrations of the early days to the great Super Bowl runs of the 1970s, and offers insights on the characters of many of his beloved players. Reproduced in print for the first time, the work is complemented by photographs of Rooney, his family, and members of the Steelers, along with scenes from the standout performance of actor Tom Atkins, who has embodied the role since the play's inception.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Zellers, Gene Collier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822943581\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822943587\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.62w x 0.68d","brand":"Robert Zellers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44080645636351,"sku":"9780822943587","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_82582cd9-7775-4d48-8ac9-75fe171996b1.jpg?v=1685487984","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-chief-rob-zellers-9780822943587","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
