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.

Memories of Bob Moose
A nice gentleman by the name of Dennis Davies shared this on an open Facebook forum 2/4/18: "Spent time with him and Richie Hebner in Marine Reserves.. also knew him from when I worked in Pirates front office..... shared more than a few cocktails with him and Hebner... great guy and funny; down to earth guy.. was duty sergeant when I was duty driver one summer camp...... gin and tonic was the drink of choice that night.... lol... always had a story to tell; btw, we also had a guy you may remember as Jeff Christy ( KQV) in the platoon...... you know him today as Rush Limbaugh; Moose's death was tragic and actually not so nice to repeat.. circumstances were very disturbing; I can't repeat the details of his death as I was told soon after........but needless to say it was very bad; would not be hero in today's world for sure; exactly... we were told Bob was decapitated......sad.......I met his wife a couple times before his death.
