1974 Evansville Triplets team photo price drop
 

Hi Boys and Girls, I have a 1974 Triplets photo that I would like to sell. The photo measures approximately 5 1/2" x 8 1/2". The back has some writing and some some white out where someone tried to obliterate the price.


$20 $15 shipped. Any type of payment is fine. Thanks much! Rick

Cool photo! Bobby Molinaro was one of my favorite players back then. Used to listen to a lot of their games on the radio. I can remember about half of those players. A little more familiar with the '75 - '78 teams, but '74-'75 is about as far back as my memory can go. I would have been 6 in 1974!

Triplets
 

I wonder where the name "Triplets" came from?

From the Wikipedia page:

In order to select a name for the new franchise, a contest was held and a $500 savings certificate was offered to whoever gave the best name for the team; the name Evansville Triplets was selected from over 3,000 entries. (Fittingly, "Triplets" was appropriate for three reasons: the team would play Triple-A ball; the name was a play on Twins, for whom Evansville would serve as its top affiliate; and the fact that the name would represent not just Indiana, but the tri-state area, including Kentucky and Illinois

This is freakin awesome! I'm from Evansville originally and have a ticket stub signed by Jim Leyland when he was manager. Do you (or anyone else) have any other Tripletts collectibles?

Thanks, Robert - that is interesting!

Hi Mike, I don't have any other Tripletts items.
