Mike,
It's great to see photos from that day! The Pirates won the 1960 replay 2-1, and the 1971 Buccos lost to the Phillies 5-3. I really don't recall much about who played or what happened, but I do remember getting a Willie Stargell poster. :)

Autographed Roberto Clemente Night Poster. This is one of my favorite items . The autograph is almost eight inches long. I added it to my collection in 1989. At the time I was making about $10 an hour and had just married. I thought my wife was going to kill me for buying it. She didn't even blink when I told her that I spent essentially a week's salary on it when we could barely pay the rent. She doesn't always understand my collecting but 29 year's later she has come to accept that she married a perpetual child.

Great poster Mike! My wife is also pretty understanding with regards to my purchases, but when I think about it, she makes a hell of a lot more purchases than I do, sooo.........

Great poster Mike. I am loving this thread. It is such fun seeing Clemente items I have not encountered before. Today is the anniversary of his being voted into the HOF. Here's a cool link https://www.lavidabaseball.com/my-cl...erto-advocate/ and some amateur photos of his HOF display as it appeared 45 years ago.

I would love to contribute more frequently, but life is super busy for me. I will contribute when I can.

Here are the only 5 album size records with Clemente featured on the cover. The first 2 are triple b productions and are just short of common - these 2 copies are still sealed.

Next up is a conversation with Roberto - a bit tougher than the triple b albums. This one too is still sealed.

Next up is the Ramito canta album - don't know much about this one - other than to say I have only seen 3 of these ever.

Last up is the Pittsburgh symphony orchestra recording I referenced in an earlier post. Super tough.

A number of variations - a couple of them super scarce.

There is a reprint of this one floating around. I have only seen 1 other original. This is one of my earliest collection pick ups - I think I bought it close to 30 years ago.

Close enough?

So this is an opening day program for the 1955 Dodgers - a game played against the pirates on April 13, 1955. Clemente didn't play in the game, but it was the first game played by the pirates in 1955 - I like to imagine an excited Clemente sitting on the bench wearing a pirates uniform number 13 wanting so badly to play. I also appreciate the irony of the fact that the Pirates had just "stolen" Clemente from the Brooklyn farm system. Lastly Clemente would get his first opportunity to play a few games later in a doubleheader against the Dodgers.

I am pretty sure I have a stub floating around for the game as well.
