Bob Moose honored at 6/21/11 Pirates 40th anniversary of 1971 World Series at PNC Park
There are a couple You Tube videos depicting this fine celebration and tribute. Specific to Bob Moose, a 1975 official still photo of Moose is shown on the big screen as the crowd roars (one of the bootleg cameramen notes that he died in a car accident). No family member (his daughter April Moose Lasta, his mother Molly Cardoni Moose, or his widow Alberta Duriscoe Moose Fox [married to Bob's best friend Tom Fox]) was present.
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. SCROLL DOWN FOR MANY PHOTOS, BLOGS & EVEN SOME VIDEOS. BOB, YOU ARE GREATLY MISSED!
