I raced through your very impressive collection related to the 1971 Pirates. However, I didn't see (might've skipped over it) any focus on the 1 September game, which will surely (IMO) be remembered longer than any other occurrence during that season, with the possible exception of the Bucs winning the WS.

The Pirates started an all Black lineup, the first in MLB history. I do not follow baseball, but I remember this being mentioned on this site before, probably by 71buc. That lineup, which took the field on September 1, was Rennie Stennett, Gene Clines, Roberto Clemente, Willie Stargell, Manny Sanguillén, Dave Cash, Al Oliver, Jackie Hernández, and Dock Ellis.

Thanks for the kind words. On page 3 after Al Oliver you will find this scored program to the game. The ticket stub is one of the most desired yet elusive items on my want list. However, I have to believe that the program is much more rare. There were 11278 in attendance I doubt even a third of them purchased a program and scored the game.

Thanks Mike. Not a Yanks fan either but Graig's work supersedes all loyalties in my book.

That game was the first ever started by a lineup comprised of nine players of color.
