Gibson caught the first game of an Aug. 1, 1971 doubleheader against the @Pirates. Clemente went 1-for-4 in that game with a home run, sac fly, groundout, fly out and 9th inning strikeout, according to the indispensable @Retrosheet. — PolitiTweet.org

Major clue: Unlike so many 1972 In Action cards that feature @SFGiants catcher Dick Dietz, the receiver in the Clemente card is backup Russ Gibson, who wore #18 and played only one daytime home game against the @Pirates in 1971. https://t.co/u1Tb8s6mqq — PolitiTweet.org

In the 9th, @Retrosheet records @Alscoop16 striking out looking, but merely says Clemente struck out — presumably swinging. So the grimace most likely was not a reaction to a called strike three, contrary to my decades of assumptions. https://t.co/HN6FBnZjtp — PolitiTweet.org
