Steelers Hall of Famer Mel Blount turned 75 on Monday. He celebrated the milestone by doing what he does every day on the 300-acre farm on 6 Mel Blount Drive in Buffalo Township, Washington County, that he has owned since 1989. He shoveled horse manure out of the stalls in his barn. He lugged buckets of water for his cows. He put up fences around his property.
For Blount, who looks as if he still could play for the Steelers, it was the perfect birthday.
"It's a good life," he said. "I don't deserve it. I thank God for it."
