What is all sorts of weird with that poster is the fact that Rose and Bud Harrelson had an infamous on-field brawl during the 1973 NLCS, so if you look at Pete's fist, it gives the illusion he's landing one on Buddy's chin in the background. Holy coincidence, Batman!

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
