Well, to make up for that fiasco, how about a little treat I've been saving for a while? Yep, filling in a hole in the UIN list, with a shot of Glen Hobbie, the man whose win over the Cardinals in 1960 clinched the pennant for the Pirates (September 25th; the Buccos had lost to the Braves that day and needed the Cubs to do their clinching for them), finishing his career in 1964 with those same Cardinals.
This post at On The Outside Corner (a fine Cardinals blog) details Hobbie's two months in Birdland (Missouri version), before he was sent down to AAA Jacksonville to make way for Gordie Richardson.
Although Hobbie never pitched against his former mates as a Card, the Redbirds did travel back to the Windy City, and MLB snapped this pic of the pride of Witt, IL:
As is all too common with these MLB photographs, the sky comes out a sickly yellow-white, so I made my best effort at re-coloring (and sharpening) the image. Probably could still stand some improvement, but I think it at least qualifies as a step in the right direction:
Enjoy!
