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!
