In 1971 Robertson hit .271 with 26 home runs and 72 RBIs. That year, the Pirates defeated the San Francisco Giants in the NLCS, and the Baltimore Orioles 4 games to 3 to win the World Series. Only a few years before the arrival of the real “Mr. October,” Robertson had one of the finest post-seasons (playoffs and World Series combined) in Major League history. In the NLCS he hit four home runs (a record later tied by Steve Garvey in 1978 and Jeffrey Leonard in 1987), three of them in the Pirates’ Game Two victory. He would hit two more in the World Series; one of those came in Game Three of Baltimore starter Mike Cuellar with Clemente on second and Stargell on first, after Robertson, who had no sacrifice bunts on the season and only one the year before, had missed the bunt sign. (Television replays would show that Clemente had appeared to call time-out just before that pitch.) 1971 (MCMLXXI) was a common year starting on Friday (the link is to a full 1971 calendar). ...
