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
