In a scene that was shades of Michael Corleone-meets-Michael Tomlin, the Steel City Mafia (http://www.steelcitymafia.com/), held their annual "sit down" dinner tonight at the Altar Bar (http://www.altarbarpittsburgh.com/) in the Strip District.
Billing themselves as the world's largest independent Steelers club -- 7,900 members in all 50 states and several countries -- tonight's event is part of the club's "sit down" weekend in which the truly dedicated and elite members of the group are "made" (in true Mafia parlance). About 60 members attended the $50 a head dinner, which benefited the Pitterich Foundation (http://www.pitterichfoundation.com/), a local charity devoted to treatment of adult-onset leukemia.........
