PBC MOURNS THE PASSING OF HALL OF FAME LEGEND DICK GROAT

The Pittsburgh Basketball Club extends its deepest condolences to the family of Pittsburgh ICON and PBC Hall of Fame inductee Dick Groat who passed away at the age of 92.

Dick was truly one of the finest multi-sport athletes to ever come from Western PA where he had Hall of Fame careers at Duke University in basketball and of course as a Major League Baseball player with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Rest in peace our dear friend.
