REWARD if you can find a photo match for me!

Hi Rob, we're glad to have been of some help! We'd thought that maybe black-&-white photos or partial views
wouldn't fill the bill.
We actually didn't even search specific sites -- just entered [ "opening day" +"candlestick park" +1960" ]
in a Bing image search and video search.
Oh, everyone's coat seems to buttoned on the correct side in that photo, so it would seem that one of
the banners (a crucial and prominent one, no less) did get hung wrong-side-out...
No PayPal necessary! We're all here (or should be) to help one another, eh? We did just get some
bolt-from-the-blue horrific medical news here, though, so we'd appreciate any good vibes sent our way...

Interesting that this version is of a batter as opposed to a pitcher. Wonder if any of these have survived?

That is an absolutely incredible piece of history. Where on earth did you find it?

Let's wrap this up...

You are The Man, Butch!! Do the brackets and plus signs make a difference when searching? i.e. is [ opening day + candlestick park + 1960 ] any different than searching opening day candlestick park 1960?

Yikes! I hadn't even noticed that. This could mean 12 with pitcher and 12 with batter.....or that my pitcher wasn't there . I'm choosing to believe the former . The youtube videos were inconclusive. At any rate, I now need the batter version!

Why ebay, of course! It was up as a Buy It Now for a very short period.

Here's what they look like when hung with the back facing out. I could see how it could happen.

Then you'll need this version.. It never ends..

This was just a quick set up at the MEARS Museum. Had to get it in someplace before the space was claimed for another team. Will add more to it during my next trip up..

Brackets included in our post only to set the search terms apart from the rest of our note -- brackets not entered in Bing search box.
Yeah, plus signs (no space between plus sign and following word or phrase) do seem to help eliminate irrelevant results.

Thanks, three of us actually, although could very well be down to two any day now...
