"Lasorda tied what was then the National League record with three wild pitches in the first inning, the last of which caused him to get injured while covering home plate. Wally Moon spiked Lasorda on the right knee while sliding in to score after the third wild pitch. But despite a bloody gash, Lasorda went back to the mound and got the final two outs of the inning."

Added two signs from Forbes Field - I had sold off the section 215 sign a while ago and am happy to have it back in my collection.

Pretty happy with this, for my low end Giants collection. Sure, there are silver and bronze figurals out there, but if you think about it, which is more likely to survive? Silver or plastic? Somehow, someone held on to this for 60 years. The original receipt was included...purchased at H.C. Capwell's Department Store in Oakland for $1.98. 4% sales tax brought the total to $2.06. I also like how it's "by North American"...made in Hong Kong.

Whoops! Looks like the stand goes the other way.

Rob, that's pretty cool.

Have you put batteries in it?

Might be a good way to listen to the first game of Spring Training in one month and 10 days...

Got some very lucky pickups tonight. Generally its nearly impossible locating a minor league deadball team featuring a major leaguer but this guy popped right out 100% no doubt in this photo of the 1906 Albany Senators - Rube Kroh! Also got the 1911 Troy Trojans which might feature former Cub Carl Lundgren but cant tell for sure
