in a Bing image search and video search.
Oh, everyone's coat seems to buttoned on the correct side in that photo, so it would seem that one of
the banners (a crucial and prominent one, no less) did get hung wrong-side-out...
No PayPal necessary! We're all here (or should be) to help one another, eh? We did just get some
bolt-from-the-blue horrific medical news here, though, so we'd appreciate any good vibes sent our way...

You are The Man, Butch!! Do the brackets and plus signs make a difference when searching? i.e. is [ opening day + candlestick park + 1960 ] any different than searching opening day candlestick park 1960?

Yikes! I hadn't even noticed that. This could mean 12 with pitcher and 12 with batter.....or that my pitcher wasn't there
. I'm choosing to believe the former
. The youtube videos were inconclusive. At any rate, I now need the batter version!

Why ebay, of course! It was up as a Buy It Now for a very short period.
Here's what they look like when hung with the back facing out. I could see how it could happen.
