Day 175
1972 7-11 Slurpee Cup... https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...972Cup7-11.jpg There was a lot of 5-6 1972 Slurpee checklist sheets that were auctioned off on eBay within the last 6 mos (I think) that I was an underbidder on. If the winner is a board member and would like to sell one, I would be a buyer. |
Hi Guys,
Regarding the photo of Clemente and Mazeroski receiving their Gold Glove Awards, this cannot have been taken in 1963. Pat Jarvis of the Atlanta Braves is walking by in the background, and the Braves did not move to Atlanta until 1966. My suggestion is that the picture was probably taken on Saturday May 13, 1967 which was during the first of the Braves 3 visits to Pittsburgh that season. Also, it looks like Clemente's 1966 N.L. MVP Award is on the table, so it seems that this was the award presentation day for the Pirates. I would also conjecture that Gene Alley is standing next to Mazeroski since he also won a Gold Glove for 1966. It would seem that the presence of the MVP Award would pinpoint the picture to 1967, and a Saturday day game seems the most likely to schedule for the ceremony. Hope this information is useful, and thanks for all the great Clemente items that have been shown so far. Jeff |
Jeff I think you are correct.

Day 178
This next item shows some Pirates players with their families in June 1972. What I love about this photo is Roberto is pictured with Vera and their three sons in Pirates uniforms. 1972 Snapshot photo... https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...shotFamily.jpg https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...amilyClose.jpg |

Mike, Do you know what the event was? |
My understanding is that it was an annual father's son's ball game at Three Rivers. The photo I posted originated originated from Steve Blass' personal collection.
