Looking for some help identifying a baseball program celebrating Bob Gibson's 211 win for the St.Louis Cardinals. It was dated July 9 1972 and issued at a New York Yankees vs St Louis Reunion Game. The inside has a copy of the box score of Gibson's 211 win. The back has the career record of Gibson and Jesse Haines 210 career wins for the Cardinals. The program is just a bi-fold 5"x7" with a crease down the middle.

Hey Dave

Not sure I can shed much light on this but heres what I know. I have one which I received in the mail from the Cardinals in response to an autograph request which i would send out. I didnt request Gibson so it came with someone else. Anyway i remember reading in the paper about it because one of the front cover pictures is wrong as they have Gibby throwing left handed. It might have been a sga on that date but i dont know. I did look to c if Gibson was pitching on that day but it was Rick Wise.

Take Care

Thanks, the left handed pic of Gibson was interesting, thanks. Seems like a low value item at best.
