1971 Rochester Red Wings
Quote:
My best guess is either the B&W program was a preseason sample or a late season extra printing when the team ran low on the color programs. The content of both programs is exactly the same, but printed in color in one version and B&W in the other. There's also no lucky number printed in the B&W version. I see the color version listed all the time, but this is the only B&W I've ever seen. The roster insert in the color copy is from Aug 2nd and there wasn't any roster with the B&W program.

1971 Red Wings Little World Series
Quote:
Cool note #1 the Rochester fans gave the Denver Bears big ovations when they were introduced as the "home" team in the series in the even numbered games. Cool note #2 Bobby Grich who would be named minor league player of the year in 1971 was called up after game 5 (Mark Belanger was injured) and he didn't want to go. Joe Altobelli had to talk him into it. Grich felt the Orioles were way ahead and didn't need him. The Red Wings did. The Wings won in 7 games. |

Thanks for posting all of the first hand knowledge. Being from Kansas I’m pretty much in the dark and I find the stories fascinating.

Thanks so much for the information. I've never seen another B&W version, so I knew they were scarce. Nice to know it was from the playoffs and the story behind it. |
