Charlie,

I was a big Dave McNally fan as a kid. Here's a program from his first professional season in 1961, the Victoria/Ardmore Rosebuds. He only pitched in 4 games, before moving up to Fox Cities.

The Rosebuds started the season in Victoria, TX. At the end of May, the team moved to Ardmore, OK. Anything from this team is hard to find.

I would love to find a home program from the Victoria Rosebuds, but no luck so far. I do have an away program from Amarillo, TX (the last series they played as the Victoria Rosebuds at the end of May). Unfortunately, McNally isn't listed on the roster sheet.
