Whether providing a platform for your martini or as a happily retired souvenir, photo coasters of the Pittsburgh Pirates' 1971 World Series victory will always invite memories and conversation. And the Bucs win every time! NRMT set of eight 4- by 4-inch felt-backed photo-engraved metal squares feature a game highlight on each, with the scoring line and winning and losing pitcher. Steve Blass and Bob Robertson reveling in the final out of Pittsburgh's Game 7 victory over the Baltimore Orioles leads off the pack, followed by Manager Danny Murtaugh in Game 1, Jim Palmer dominating Game 2, Robertson connecting in Game 3, Bruce Kison following through in Game 4, a falling Nelson Briles throwing one past Frank Robinson in Game 5, Manny Sanguillen making the catch above a sliding Robinson in Game 6, and Roberto Clemente walking off the field to applause in Game 7. Here's to you, Bucs.
