Lot 396: Steve Carlton's 1966-67 Ponce Lions Team Montage
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
While much of the 1966-67 Ponce Leones (Lions) roster was composed of mediocre Yankees -- no surprise, the manager was ex-Yankee reliever Luis "Tite" Arroyo -- the face that leaps out from this team montage is that of HOFer Steve Carlton, then 21 and with 3 big league games under his belt but about to burgeon with the Cards. Among 33 "baseballs" with player head shots around a lion in the center, Lefty is 2nd from the top, looking barely old enough to shave. Others include Roy White, Dooley Womack, Nelson Briles, Angel Mangual, Roger Repoz, etc. B&W montage is 8 x 10 and has some minor edge creasing o/w EX-MT.
