while proofing my priates auto collection i came across 2, same player, that i think i errored on. i think they are Don Osborn, however i am not sure. one is marked coach the other is cut from an envelope. all i can find out on him is, if i am correct:

Worked for the Pirates from 1958-74. Pitching coach 1963-64, 1970-72, 1974-76. All other years he was a minor league instructor or a scout.
