Happy New Year - January, 2014 Pick Up's

[Copa7]

Found this out of print book. Was published by a local Pittsburgh printer who also happens to be the illustrator of the book.

A few short years, Pittsburgh would be Chanpions in baseball (1972) and football (1974-76). The baseballc section is outstanding from Honus Wagner to Roberto Clemente. As you can see, some great Negro Leagues are covered along with golf (Palmer), hockey (Hornets) and boxing.

This is a photo I picked up in a lot.When I first looked at it closely,something caught my attention.It was an early photo-bomb.

I just picked up this great action photo of Harvey "The Kitten" Haddix's near perfect game.

Arguably the greatest game ever pitched, Haddix pitched 12 games of perfection before allowing the 1st hit in the 13th inning in Milwaukee, eventually losing the game to the hometown Braves.

Earlier this week I finally completed my quest to obtain press passes for all of the 1971 Pittsburgh Pirates post season games. I spent five years searching for examples I wanted in my 1971 Pirates collection. My goal was to pick up one example from Three Rivers and Candlestick for the NLCS as well as press passes to Memorial Stadium and Three Rivers for the 1971 fall classic. The green pass is fun because Game #2 of the series played in Baltimore was postponed by rain. I believe the water stains are from rain drops.

I also have ticket stubs to all of the 1971 post season games as well, with the exception of Game #1 of the NLCS played in San Francisco. If you have one and are willing to move it please let me know.
