Default 1960 Pirates

I've been collecting autographed baseballs of this team for a very long time. The situation varies a lot when that restriction is in place. Observations:

--of the starting eight, seven are easy, while one has escaped me. DON HOAK never seems to have single signed a ball, ever;
-- Jim Umbricht is hard, but not impossible. Mine's PSA certified;
-- of the remainder, Fred Green and Diomedes Olivo have still evaded capture, as have several coaches.
-- best ball? A team signed extravaganza with two Groats and two Clementes!

It's been great fun running all this stuff down, celebrating one of the greatest Series ever.
