Bob Moose: my very first baseball card in 1974, playing for my beloved Pittsburgh Pirates; born 10/9/47...died 10/9/76; came closest of anyone to pitching no-hitter at Forbes Field (1968); Pirate rookie of the year 1968; pitched a no-hitter vs Mets 1969; led league in winning pct 1969; 1971 world series champ; threw wild pitch in October 1972 playoff game; led Pirates in saves in 1976.

Bob Moose Pittsburgh Pirates Pitcher

#38
Bob Moose's #38, worn by the pitcher from 1967-1976, was unofficially "retired" (no doubt, out of respect) from 1977-1980, which includes, of course, the 1979 championship season. Pitching great Luis Tiant was the first Bucco to wear #38 since Bob Moose for his lone season as a Pirate in 1981, 5 years after Bob's tragic death.
