fond Naturally there will be no record purses for Pirateg or Yanks in this set Although Yankee Stadium can accommodate 70000 plus there is no chance of coming close to the crowd of 92706 for the fifth

four-game sweep with an awesome power display in batting practice Pirate fans are confident that Danny Murtaugh's "Beat 'em Bucs" will make up for that humiliation Because of Manager Casey Stengel's
