@Markhoyle4 @Topps @SABRbbcards @CardboardHistry @CardsFromAttic @PostWarCards @DavidWilner4 @delspacefranco @nightowlcards @sccrdude63 I finished this set around 1980 but remember Clendenon was one of the final pieces. Never even knew he was with @Cardinals until I saw the card. — PolitiTweet.org

I thought the @Phillies were idiots to trade Rick Wise (pitched a no-hitter & hit two HRs!!!) for Steve Carlton and offered my 8-year-old’s critique of the deal on back of Wise’s Traded card. https://t.co/LXDMb5lwuV — PolitiTweet.org

Many of these cards went straight from wax pack to the pocket of my Toughskins to various shoeboxes over the years — and show it. https://t.co/RBu8BZ9HSK — PolitiTweet.org

The final cards in @Topps’ biggest set ever at the time, including the trend-setting Traded subset. https://t.co/F8fa857yGd — PolitiTweet.org

@CardboardHistry @linder_seattle @SABRbbcards @PiratesTalk @Topps @CardsFromAttic @ClementeCards21 @ClementeMuseum Games 1&2 of the 1970 World Series were played on artificial turf (1st time ever for Fall Classic) in Cincinnati; these pics are obviously from Baltimore. https://t.co/vrSHUKcuWL — PolitiTweet.org

@linder_seattle @SABRbbcards @PiratesTalk @Topps @CardboardHistry @CardsFromAttic @ClementeCards21 @ClementeMuseum Great find! Has to be Game 7. Mantle also faced Gibson in St. Louis in Game 2, but wore full-length sleeves. Knocked in two runs but was apparently hacked off about the pepper games restrictions. https://t.co/1666gskkbJ — PolitiTweet.org

@PiratesTalk @Topps @SABRbbcards @CardboardHistry @CardsFromAttic @ClementeCards21 @ClementeMuseum They were kind of loose with World Series pics back in the day. For Mantle’s 1964 Game 3 walk-off HR in Yankee Stadium, he’s shown in road uni. https://t.co/HzF9QIScAV — PolitiTweet.org

@PiratesTalk @Topps @SABRbbcards @CardboardHistry @CardsFromAttic @ClementeCards21 @ClementeMuseum Photo was taken in Baltimore but Game 4 was at Three Rivers. Still, it’s a Clemente card! https://t.co/GHfxvc2XBv — PolitiTweet.org

@Markhoyle4 @SFGiants @Pirates I always liked that Topps put him and Bill Rohr on the same rookie card a couple months after he caught Rohr's 1-hitter. https://t.co/p44Bwi0ANQ — PolitiTweet.org

Side note: Jose Pagan’s 1972 In Action card is from the same game. Note @TheRealSangy35 in the background on third base. Pagan drove him in with a sac fly in the 2nd inning. https://t.co/gKegQbSEYy — 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

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

It bugged me as a kid that my favorite player was depicted grimacing at what I always assumed was a called third strike. A few minutes of research on the @baseball_ref site pinpointed the game this occurred.... https://t.co/ZJlnOMfujK — PolitiTweet.org
