Old newspaper articles

My mom kept newspapers for me when I was a kid of most major sporting events. The newspaper collection starts in 1969 all the way through today.
I was visiting her today and she asked me if I was interested in taking the collection to my house for storage. I was going through them and this one kinda stood out from the rest due to it being so colorful. Just thought I would share it with the group. The paper is dated: Thursday January 25, 1973.

My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

I might have some old newspaper items that might be fun to check out. I've actually got TWO days off this weekend, so I'm lookin' for fun things to do -- and that would qualify as one!
Hope you find more treasures like that one...

You got quite the treasure trove there, lucky you! Thanks for sharing with us!
Having historically significant newspaper clips - too cool.
I was looking in a 55 WS program and this popped out:
That's some significant "air" under Snider's feet!
I used to save significant newspaper events but it got to be too much.
Thanx for sharing - great diversion from cards.

Bob Cerv = not as good of a jumper as Duke Snider
And did somebody say Warren Spahn?

Definitely some nice vintage artices and photos!
I went through a box of stuff and found some scanable articles. Most were too big -- usually large sections of the Minneapolis Tribune in the '60s-'70s. Here's a watershed point in players' salaries that I saved from my hometown paper, The Fairmont (MN) Sentinel:

I've always loved this shot of #7...
Berra giving Bob Gibson's nose a tweak(?!) after he beat them in Game 7!

I just remembered that I have an entire box of the Mpls Tribunes out in the garage from the 1985 season -- Puckett's 2nd with the Twins. I'll bet I could find some nice material in there to scan. I'll have to work on that this weekend.
Thanks for taking the time to share your treasures!

On your Rose card poster from 1985, there is a color poster of it. It used to appear on Ebay frequently. As a Perez collector I purchased it because the 1984 card featuring Rose is actually Perez's 1984 card (look at batting pose). Somehow they mixed and matched that card. If I can dig it out I will shot a scan of it.
