Pittsburgh Pirates 1955 Yearbook with Rookie Outfielder Roberto Clemente.
Lot 163. Pittsburgh Pirates 1955 Yearbook with Rookie Outfielder Roberto Clemente. Yearbook copy tends to suffer from unwarranted hype, but whoever wrote this about Clemente got it right: “The Pirates drafted him as No. 1 choice in the annual lottery, and may have picked up a real prize. Only 20, he has everything but experience, and his success in the majors appears only a question of time.” Clemente shares page 20 of the 48-page yearbook with Preston Ward. Vg cover with a 1 ¼” tear on the back, and ex pages. The back page has an ad for Topps’ 1955 baseball cards. One of the less common Pirates yearbooks.
Winning Bid $55.
