Here's Bobby Grich at Yankee Stadium . . .
. . . on September 1, 1973, the start of the last month of the original Yankee Stadium.
Grich went 1-for-4 with a runs scored as the Orioles beat up Pat Dobson and the Yankees, 10-6. Don Baylor homered while Tommy Davis and Boog Powell each had three hits. Thurman Munson and Mike Hegan homered for the Yankees.
Although the Yankees were playing in Shea Stadium in 1974, Grich's 1975 Hostess card still has him at the old Yankee Stadium, so it's possible this photo is from the same day. Both photos were taken on the third base side of home plate.
In other news, 35 people were killed in a hotel arson fire in Copenhagen, Denmark; the Chief of Staff of the Provisional IRA was arrested in Ireland, and George Foreman defended his heavyweight title, knocking out Jose Roman in two minutes in Tokyo.

ReplyDeleteIf these things weren't so rare... I'd try and track one down for my birthday collection.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't familiar with Jose Roman. That fight must've been very disappointing for those folks over there.
