The first slide is actually the Bucs celebrating the 1971 Pennant after defeating the Giants in Game 4 of the NLCS. The shots of Clemente crossing the plate were taken following his Game 7 Homer in Baltimore. I think its always cool to see previously unpublished images of famous events in baseball history. For obvious reasons these make me very happy. |
Mike,
These are very neat slides even though we were on the losing side of the Series. I like them all, but my favorite slide is the Davey shot; very cool!
