Totally stacked team. Really incredible lineup.

So many legends in that lineup that I imagine many people remember most of those names today.

That's super interesting. I hadn't known that. Thanks for sharing!

I really had nothing from John Galbreath the owner of 1971 Pirates in my collection. Due to this I was pleased to pick up one of his accountant ledgers.

Cool pickup there! I've never seen a 71 Pirates lineup card. I do have a lineup from 1955 (Clemente rookie season) and the lineup cards from Game 1 of the 1979 World Series.
