RANCHO MIRAGE, California: October 1, 2018 – If you told a story about a small-town boy who became a Notre Dame football captain, played on a national championship team, served the United States with distinction in Vietnam and then recovered from severe injuries to become a four-time Super Bowl champion with the Pittsburgh Steelers, it would be laughed off as fiction.
But Rocky Bleier’s story is fact, and the captain of the 1967 Irish football team will be returning to campus on Saturday, October 13, to share his story at the Hammes Notre Dame Bookstore, signing copies of the new book, The Pluck of the Irish, from 9:30-10:30 a.m. Notre Dame will play the University of Pittsburgh at Notre Dame Stadium later that day.
