The mental picture is not one VaLynda Mooney will soon forget.
While visiting her parents to decorate for Christmas and celebrate her mom's 92nd birthday late last month, Mooney couldn't help but smile while watching her dad, former Pirates pitcher Vernon Law, repeatedly walk in and out of the kitchen of their Provo, Utah, home.
Although Law's primary tools involved a ball, glove and spikes while he helped the Pirates to a World Series victory and captured the Cy Young Award in 1960, on this particular afternoon he spent a lot of time insisting on carrying a heated shawl that his wife, VaNita, received as a gift last year.
