2024 and interest in Bob Moose is alive and well!
I have even heard from relatives via this blog and You Tube!
My first ever Pirate autograph was from Bob Moose in 1969. He was promoting a Grand Opening event for a new Stop 'N Go convenience store in Pleasant Hills (8 miles south of Pittsburgh on Rt 51.) His Pirate road roommate catcher, Gary Kolb was with him too. Both players were very friendly to us young kids.
