Luke Ravenstahl is the current Mayor of Pittsburgh and the youngest mayor of any major American city. When he assumed office in 2006, Ravenstahl was just 26 years old, making him the youngest mayor in Pittsburgh's history.
In January of 2009, based on a suggestion from a local radio station, Ravenstahl began a court petition to change his name from Ravenstahl to Steelerstahl. The change was prompted from the January 18, 2009, AFC Championship Game in which the Pittsburgh Steelers host the Baltimore Ravens. It was not immediately known if the Mayor would finalize the legal name change.ESPN.com: Pittsburgh Mayor Removes 'Raven' From Name
