Was Clemente considering retirement early? While I didn't follow him too much while he was active, I've never heard that story.

Anyone know any details?

Raymond,

I think it was more of a hypothetical question posed on the cover. Clemente hit .345 in 1969 and would end up batting .352 in 1970 so he still had it in him. Maybe it's in reference to his nagging injuries but truth be told, I didn't read the article

I purchased this next item probably 15+ years ago at the Philly Show in Ft. Washington.


1975 Puerto Rican Lottery ticket...





And then last year, I was able to pick up some color variations. There are some other colors that I have seen that I don't have, but not sure how much I'll make an effort to obtain.

Originally I thought these next items were from the 1970s, but they may be more recent (80s). I’m assuming they’re fantasy pieces.

ca. 1970s Alarm clock and pocket watch...

I’m a fan of the Pirates pennant! Do you happen to have them displayed? Still remember my room when I was young with the circle of pennants on the ceiling and another circle of pennants on one of the walls.

Of course really like the look of the ‘64 standup set with, for some unknown reason, the Brooks example being my favorite
