Lot 727: Roberto Clemente's Last Game Program and Ticket
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
This '72 NLCS Pirates-Reds game program and 10/11/72 Game 5 ticket stub from Riverfront Stadium are bittersweet echoes of the sainted Clemente's career and life, which ended far too soon only weeks after the Bucs' season-ending 4-3 loss -- and 2 months and one day following his 3,000th career hit -- when his plane went down on a mercy mission for Nicaragua earthquake victims. 8 1/2 x 11" program EX-MT with distinguishing magic marker notations on the cover. Blue and white field box stub is NRMT.
