Home away from home

The Class AA Harrisburg Senators travel 36 years ago today to Pittsburgh’s Three Rivers Stadium for a home-away-from-home game against the Albany-Colonie Yankees.

The score is tied at 3 when play is suspended in the eighth inning.

The game resumes the next day on City Island, where the Yankees beat the Pirates’ Class AA affiliate 7-3 in 12 innings.

By the way, this photo comes from the collection of Jerry Reuss, who not only is an All-Star pitcher during his career but also a terrific photographer.

His post-playing career includes spending the summer of 2002 in Harrisburg as the Senators’ pitching coach.
