I figured I would watch the whole thing to see if they used any other photos from the studio setting and sure enough I spotted three more, Bill Mazeroski, Bob Robertson, and Vic Davalillo. Apparently many of the Pirates posed for these photos but the only one known made into a pin is Roberto Clemente.

Do you think someone used the photos without the photographer’s permission and was ordered to stop mid production?
