Rare program from the Pirates 4-0 Victory over the visiting Brooklyn Dodgers in Pittsburgh.  Even though the Dodgers came up with 12 hits, they still ended up with the L (Rube Melton taking the loss).  Fritz Ostermueller improved his record to 3-1 with this victory.  Pete Reiser managed to get himself kicked out by arguing with the ump.  In Jackie Robinson’s Pittsburgh debut during his rookie year (the 25^th game of his MLB career), he had two hits going 2 for 4 and was hit by the pitch in the 1st inning (the 4th time he was hit by a pitch in his rookie year).  In Hank Greenberg’s first year with the Bucs and last season in the big leagues as a player, he hit his 5^th Home Run of the season and going 2 for 3 for the day with 1 walk.

Program is unscored, tight binding, loaded with photos of players and advertisements.  Fold through the center (probably this fan 1 of 14,809 in attendance put it in his back pocket. Pencil notation on the cover of the “Pirates 4 Dodgers 0 May 17, 1947”
