I am curious to see if the photo at the top of this
card can be identified by any of you guys. I
know it's a long shot, but it is worth a try. Here
is a larger scan of just that picture.

I'm guessing the picture is from the '60 season,
although it could be earlier. Anyone recognize
the park, the uniforms, the backs of the players,
the umpire, the guys in the dugout, the first fan
on the left, anything?? /;-)

Yeah, ain't that Clemente at the plate?

No, but I think you guessed the right team.

I also posted this in another newsgroup, and in a
number of replies, the consensus seems to be that
it is a Pirate batting. If so, then it would have to be
Dick Stuart. He wore jersey #7 for the Pirates.

Roberto Clemente wore #21.

There is also some thought that this might be Wrigley
Field in Chicago, but no one seems to be quite as
sure about that.
