1965 Pirates placemat (Harmony Milk)...

i have a couple of obscure Harmony Milk items, but not sure that I have that one!!

It's funny seeing "Manuel Mota" on there. In my entire life I've never heard him called anything other than Manny Mota, so it just made me chuckle.

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.

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.

1970s J. D. McCarthy...

Man, that is a cool looking McCarthy postcard. I think I’ve seen two varieties of these postcards of Roberto. Do you know how many McCarthy postcards there are of Clemente, or is it just the two?

I've only seen 2 versions, the other predates this one.

1969 Topps Decal...

https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...ToppsDecal.jpg

One of my favorite Topps insert sets from the 60s. I remember trading for these in junior high. On one occasion, a group of us were in the library trading cards and one kid threw a dozen or so of these on the table and asked "Anybody want this junk?". Hands were flying, but I was able to grab Reggie Jackson among others.

Here's the set...
