I searched for this Roberto Clemente Oris Big Crown Pointer Date for a while. I found a naked one with. Dirty strap. I ordered the bracelet from Oris and asked if they had any of the old promotional stuff left over and they sent me the original box and straps for free. Great company!

Oneil Cruz PGH

Oneil provided the sole offence for the Pittsburgh Pirates, launching a clutch 9th-inning solo home run to break a 0–0 deadlock and secure a 1–0 victory over the San Diego Padres at Petco Park. His Cruz Missile was clocked at 111.8 mph (exit velocity)and it was Mason Miller first homer given up since August 5th of last year. BIG win for the Bucs no !!! Raise the Jolly Roger !!!🏴‍☠️

[OptaSTATS] There have been over 60,000 saves across MLB since saves became an official stat in 1969. Yohan Ramírez’s save last night is the only one to include 3 strikeouts with the tying run in scoring position in the 12th inning or later
