Box Score Game Card (1971) – WSFL0028

Box Score Game Card: WSFL0028
Card Date: October 13, 1971
Autograph(s): Bruce Kison; Brooks Robinson (D) – HOF.
Grade Value:  V

Significance of autograph (valuable):
Bruce Kison in this game became the first pitcher to win a World Series night game â€¦ after 397day games. Now, all the World Series games are played religiously at night. It is great to have the games at night for fans but since MLB modern ear there have been some classic World Series games that had they been at night just wouldn’t have been the same. MLB needs to add at least one day game back to the World Series.
But then again how can MLB afford players like Ohtani at 700 million. Note: Kison winning this game is significant but just as significant is Brooks Robinson’s autograph because in a subtle way he represents the way baseball used to be … day World Series games. After all Brooks did play for old baseball … his career 1955 – 1977.
Note: Roberto Clemente would play his last baseball this series getting a hit in each game. He would die tragically three months later.
