Day 54
I've seen pictures of Bill Mazeroski's 1960 World Series HR countless times and I've always wondered if Roberto was in the large group waiting for Maz to cross home plate. However, I had never really made an attempt to identify Clemente until I purchased this next item. With a little bit of research I've determined that, sure enough...he's there!:D He's the third player from the left (without his ball cap). Note the man behind him in the white shirt with his hands on Roberto's back. 1961 Pittsburgh Pirates pocket schedule... https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...esSchedule.jpg https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...ScheduleBk.jpg https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...uleCloseup.jpg The following photos were found online and helped me positively ID Roberto... Photo shows Maz approaching home with Dick Schofield (# 11) and Hal Smith (# 5) waiting at home, with Roberto just to the right. Note the man/boy in the white shirt standing directly behing Clemente with his hands on Roberto's back. https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...neous/Maz2.jpg https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat.../517727188.jpg |
Incredible Detective work Mike!!
You have so far posted 2 pocket schedules I don't believe I have - the Otto Milk and now the 1961 Dollar bank (I have the one from 1970) - I know you have extras of the otto milk, how about the dollar bank? Love to work out a trade at some point.

It's the same image on the '61 T WS Game 7 card, and I always wondered if Roberto was in the group too. Great work. That side-on image proves it.
(for fun here's the card. It's actually not in the PSA master set for Roberto, but in light of this, maybe it should be!) Attachment 306371 |
Day 55
This neat little viewer has an eyehole to look through and a button on the bottom to rotate through the photos. Pictured inside are Clemente, Stargell, Mazeroski, Walker, Cash, Sanguillen, Alou and Hebner. When I purchased this item off eBay years ago, the seller had somehow managed to capture the images in jpg form. I had saved all of the images, but somehow over the years, I managed to lose some of them. So I will just post the images that I still have, luckily Clemente is one of them. These don't show up very often, I have only seen one other Pirate viewer in the last 20+ years. 1969 Fun World Viewer... https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...orldViewer.jpg https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...ewerPhotos.jpg |

Here's one for you Mark!
Day 59 I'm basing the date of this next item by the players (likeness) portrayed on the front of the box. Roberto on the left and Brooks on the right. I'm assuming the production of the game was shortly after the 71 World Series, but I could be wrong. I don't believe there is a copyright date on the box. I'm also attaching a photo of Roberto that is similar to the caricature on the box. I know that I have seen a similar image of Brooks leaping with glove extended, but I could not find the image (maybe Mark has one?). ca. 1971 Galoob Mr. Baseball game... https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...GaloobMrBB.jpg https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...aloobMrBB2.jpghttps://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...tebatting2.jpg |

Another wonderful item that I have not seen and didn’t even know was out there. I understand that some wouldn’t consider this a Brooks piece, but I sure would. I’ll have to add this to my waitlist. I think this game may be a bit later than the ‘71 you presume. I’d think it was probably put out around their 2nd WS appearance in ‘79. I could be wrong, and it may be after the ‘71 WS. Probably some of the game collectors would know for sure. As far as the Brooks image I’ve definitely seen this leaping photo before and I think it was in an ad (possibly Sporting News or something like that). Believe it was a B&W image as well. If I come across it I’ll post a pic. I know I don’t have the actual photograph itself; have a couple leaping ones, but not this one. |
