Oh sure, I found a few on basketballs (he was also the Knicks trainer) but who knew he'd be so hard to find on something I could matt.
Anyway, this I believe, is one of if not they most complete 1960 Pirates around. It has both the major owner (Gailbreath) as well as minority owner (Bing Crosby), it has everyone that was in the team picture including traveling secretary Bob Rice, special asst (and HOF'er) George Sisler, and every other player that wore a uniform that year...with the exception of the batboys which I just don't collect, and I was also able to pick up both Bob Prince and Jim "Possum" Woods.
Special thanks to Jim Stinson for helping me get the Clemente and the Olivo, Bill Corcoran for the great (and surprisingly hard to find) Lenny Levy, and our own Scmavl (Jarrod) for turning me on to the fact that Jim Woods was the second announcer.
Now this one is to bed, I will be working on my 1934 Cardinals and the 1919 Blacksox.

Awesome Mike. Congrats on completing this great project!

Thanks Scott. After taking some time away from the hobby, it's nice to be back and getting projects completed.

That '60 Pirates piece is amazing.
