SNIPED BY THE OP...But, For whatever reason, Topps used the same image for both the 65 and 68 Mays. So it would not be a stretch that Topps may have used an image from a 64 AS game on the 70 card for Clemente. Good job picking up on the home uniform...for me looking at the crowd in the upper deck in LF would make me think that it was a big game of sorts (an AS game). Below is a link to an image from the 64 AS game...uniform looks the same(including the long sleeves in July)...good call!

Haha!!! Sorry. When I get something in my head, I wanna see it through.
I always thought those Mays cards were an extreme example of reaching back in the archives and that's only a three year gap (they also used his 1966 pic in 1969), but a 6 year gap? Yowzers.

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

No worries at all...At some point, I read about an even larger gap of time between when the photo Topps used was actually taken and was then subsequently used on a card, but I am unable to recall the details other than it was from the 60s. It must have been frustrating for the many Mays collectors in the 60s to have not one, but two recycled images appear on his cards.

Default Topps photos

Yes, I see that, another tell tale sign of re-use of old photos, it looks like Mays is wearing a toupee, and in the other pic..three yrs later....you still see the toupee peeking out of the batting helmet

Default Could it Be a Road Uniform?

How can we be sure that this isn't a Pirates road uni? The gray tones could be blown out by sunlight, flash or contrasty image preparation. The pants certainly look like they could be gray.

Those pants are white. It's just some shadowing you're seeing.

Traditionally, home teams had either their logo or team name on their uniforms, while road teams had the city (i.e. 'Pittsburgh') from whence they came emblazoned on theirs. I'm pretty certain if someone sought out contemporary pictures from Forbes Field, you'd see the Pirates wearing that selfsame uniform. (I always wanted to use 'selfsame' in a sentence!)

I think Keith brings up a good point about the gray vs. white issue. Moreover and despite tradition, all Pirates uniforms throughout Clemente's entire career said Pirates and not Pittsburgh--whether road or home--at least according to Marc Okkonen's database.
