MARTELLO) The 50th Anniversary of the Willie “Pops” Stargell Pittsburgh and Allegheny County MVP Awards and Connie “The Hawk” Hawkins Hall of Fame Inductions was celebrated in grand style, Friday, May 31, at the Riverside Landings Banquet Center in Oakmont.& And to suggest that this may have been the grandest of them all may just be an overstatement, but I can assure you it just landed in the top five! Nearly 200 longtime supporters, believers and past participants arrived at Riverside for an evening of recognition, great memories, important fundraising and quite possibly “TOO MUCH FUN,” thanks in part to some of the Original Ballers of the Connie Hawkins NCAA/Pro/Am Summer Basketball League who also wear the title of Westinghouse Bulldogs. (Proving that it must be true “The House, The House, The House will never fall.”) 2024 STARGELL MVPS FEATURING THE HIGHLAND PARK TENNIS CLUB! Very, very, very special thanks and appreciation goes out to this year’s Willie Stargell...
