Roberto Clemente Signed Program
I just picked these up today. 2 Programs and 1 scorecard. Not sure why one is orange and the other is red. Both are in incredible condition!! They've been stored in a file cabinet for quite some time. Color is just as bright as when new!! Original owner's mother worked at the Denver Bears(Tiger affiliate)stadium in 1961. Coming from a broken home with little positive male influence she brought him to the stadium one day because she wanted to show him something. That "something" was getting introduced to the players practicing on the field. How cool it must have been! The Pittsburg Pirates played the Denver Bears as a preseason game or exhibition game. 26 signatures that I count including Bob Lemon, Vernon Law, Robin Roberts, Dick Groat...and yes including a big beautiful blue inked Roberto Clemente. I'm looking to sell it so it may soon appear in the BST forum
