Unfortunately, I only found black and white or colorized images. This photo was labeled (or should I say mis-labeled) 10-21-75 which was the date of Game 6. I assumed it was correct. It is not.

I can decipher this by the fact that it was taken during a day game (obviously game 1), and I'm almost certain that is left-hander Don Gullet on the mound for Cincinnati. The game 6 home run was surrendered by Pat Darcy. Great card anyway, and a great idea. Topps really screwed up with their "who give a f---" attitude in regards to World Series cards in the 1970s.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04286807962758571403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2332216713105600925.post-5752891327793376402018-12-13T16:10:15.781-08:002018-12-13T16:10:15.781-08:00Just had to jump back in to correct myself (I'...Just had to jump back in to correct myself (I've been a little foggy after all my medical issues). The big moment with the flag took place in APRIL,(the 25th to be precise) NOT MAY. Trying to "make a statement " of sorts this nut case tried to reduce to ashes our flag in front 25,000 people...but Mr. Monday was more than up to the task of saving it. While I'm at it, it seem that others are a bit shy about "stepping up to the plate" for requests. Allow me to "pinch hit" if they won't. How about: Willie "the 3 dog" Davis, Billy "Bucks" Buckner (still a Dodger then), Ron Fairly, Yaz, "Boog" Powell, or Billy Williams, all great southpaw swingers. I know it's all work, so If anybody else will chime in, in the interest of DEMOCRACY I will relent, and you can then "bench" these choices.

You really know how to extrapolate a basically "dud" design into something pretty good. Just shows your long standing appreciation for this under appreciated genre as an art form! Now for my one request: This is 1976 we are talking about. Well, I'll reveal my left coast provincialism. the outstanding event - to me- happened one day in May. At "Chavez Ravine", some cretin who thought that the calendar still read 1967,68, or 69 ventured on to the field and attempted to incinerate old glory. Well right at the crucial moment, Cubs OF Rick Monday swooped and rescued it (and if I recall put the arsonist on his keister). At that moment Rick became a Dodger - although it would take an off-season deal to make it official.
