I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

  • Bobby Del Greco
    Bobby Del Greco, “Pittsburgh Born & Bred” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com An excellent fielding outfielder who plays 17 seasons in profes- sional baseball, Robert George “Bobby” Del Greco is one of the first players from the highly-touted Pittsburgh Pirates farm sys- tem of the early 1950’s to make it to the major leagues. A native of Pittsburgh’s Hill District, Del Greco plays nine major league seasons with six different teams – Pittsburgh Pirates (1952, 1956), St. Louis Cardinals (1956), Chicago Cubs (1957), New York Yankees (1957-1958), Philadelphia Phillies (1960-61, 1965) and the Kansas City Athletics (1962-1963). Prior to the start of the 1950 season, Pittsburgh Hall of Famer and scout Pie Traynor finds the 17-year-old Del Greco on the sandlots of Pittsburgh and signs him for $500. Less than two years later, Del Greco will start in center field for his hometown Pirates before he turns 19 years old. As a 19-year-old rookie and the National League’s third-youngest player that season, Del Greco makes his major league debut on April 16, 1942, going 3-for-4 with a triple in a 6-to-5 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Two days later, he again goes 3-for-4 with another triple in his first-ever game at the Pirates’ Forbes Field. On June 9, 1952, Del Greco hits his first major league home run off of Milwaukee starter Jim Wilson in the sixth inning of a 3-to-2 loss to the Braves and becomes one of only 88 players, from 1900 to 2000, to hit a home run in the major leagues prior to his 20th birthday.
