    It is Bruce Soo-ter according to broadcasters, players who have said his name in interviews, his hall of fame induction announcement, his obituary on the St. Louis local news, and his Wikipedia page.
    Also - MLB expansion began in 1961. National League expansion began in 1962 with the Mets and Colt .45s.

    For those wondering the hard photo is Forbes Field (where the Pirates use to play)and the photo is taken from the Cahedral of Learning on Pitt's campus in Pittsburgh. And every year people will get together at the spot (there's a monument),and will relive the 1960 game by listening to the radio broadcast in its entirety.

    • @6thwilbury2331
      @6thwilbury2331 12 днів тому

      Wait, that's cooool. I've somehow never seen that photo before, never mind knowing it's considered one of the great baseball shots of all-time. I'm not a Bucs fan but I now want to join that little anniversary event someday, just as a baseball guy.
      For me, getting this one right was all about recognizing Forbes Field. No other stadium looked like it, mostly due to its insanely deep center field plus the sprawl of vegetation behind left field as opposed to seating or city structures. From there, it's easy: what other event from that era would evoke such a response (and create the setting for such a photo)? The Maz homer!

    Oh man, that Ted Williams photo is in my wheelhouse.
    He joined the military right after the 1942 season and went to pilot school, but he never actually flew missions in WWII. He mostly played baseball at the Great Lakes Naval Base and then later in Hawaii.
    That plane he is in is a jet. WWII was all prop planes so that's not a WWII era plane.
    He did fly combat missions in the Korean War in a jet. So the photo had to be from then. He flew in the Korean War in 1953 and 1954, so had to be one of those years.
    Was also pretty sure that photo from high up of a stadium was Forbes Field because in the 1951 movie "Angels in the Outfield" they have an opening shot of Forbes Field and the University of Pittsburgh's cathedral is a dominating structure right next to the stadium. It's the only field back then where a shot of fans from that high up would make sense.

    • @kourii
      @kourii 14 днів тому

      He only flew in Korea in 1953. He was on active duty 1952 and 1953. The ceasefire was in 1953.

    @6thwilbury2331 12 днів тому

    9:53 "He won that one but he's still in last place" could almost be said about Ripken. Kind of a strange year in that the MVP went to a player on a team that nearly lost 100 games. The Orioles hovered in sixth or seventh the AL East all season, but Rip was such a stud both at bat and in the field that he was still the obvious pick. Kind of like A-Rod's MVP in Texas or Carlton's Cy Young in 1972.

    Boys, you’re not great at context clues. The Hard picture in round one: the cars are light colored so it was the mid-50s, earliest. In the 30s, not many people had cars yet and they were almost all black until the 50s. Plus dude’s glasses give me 1962 vibes. So my range was 1957-1963, with my final guess being 1962. So I wasn’t too far off. 😅
