Celebrative Sticker #60: Baseball Legend DON LANDOLPHI!
Thanks to the collaboration with the cultural association Il Bar Del Baseball – Baseball Museum of Nettuno (Rome), comes the memory of the unforgettable match played by Italy against the USA on 5 September 1973 in Parma. It’s time for legends!
The solidarity Celebrative Sticker #60 is dedicated to Donald “Don” Landolphi, born in 1941, a fan of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who arrived in Italy in 1973 as Bill Arce’s assistant coach for Team Italy until 1975, the year in which the national team won the European title in Spain. Don has continued all these years to grow the game in Italy and around the world. Work that also led him to coach the boys of baseball for the blind. Charismatic man, he was often the third base coach, playful and cheerful, he tried never to let a mistake or a bad play weigh, always charging the team. He is still in contact with many of the players of those unrepeatable 70s.
A former international ambassador for USA Baseball and Major League Baseball in addition to being inducted into the ABCA Hall of Fame, Don boasts an incredible resume that still makes him one of baseball’s most prestigious coaches today.
In Parma, in that unforgettable match, he was there.

Parma, 5 September 1973, the last day of the 1st Intercontinental Cup, the Italian national team faces the USA, with great public success. It would seem “David against Goliath”, for Italian baseball born 25 years earlier, to face the American masters. Final score 6-5 with a deciding home run by Vic Luciani in the extra inning. The blue baseball legends won.

Thanks to the collaboration with the cultural association Il Bar Del Baseball – Baseball Museum of Nettuno (Rome), comes the memory of the unforgettable match played by Italy against the USA on 5 September 1973 in Parma. It’s time for legends!
The solidarity Celebrative Sticker #47 is dedicated to Angel Argentieri, born in South America, in Caracas (Venezuela) on 8-4-1952. He began his career in Lazio, playing for five championships from 1968 to 1972, then moving on to Fortitudo Bologna, where he played in the championships from 1973 to 1979, winning 2 championships, the first with sponsor Montenegro in 1974 and the second with sponsor Biemme in 1978 He played as a third baseman and outfielder.

Celebrative Sticker #31: FORTITUDO WHITE SOX!
There are sports stories that it is a pleasure to make known, tell, remember, celebrate. They are not always stories of a single athlete, it would not be enough, sometimes there is an entire team to be the center of attention. An important story of champions in sport and in some way also in life. The Celebrative Sticker #31 is dedicated to the Fortitudo Bologna White Sox!
We often write it, the primary purpose of our project, even before that of fundraising (always important anyway) is to use the charm of “figurine” to tell stories, about sport and often much more, in this series. Sometimes it happens on the contrary, we are the first to come into contact with realities and events we did not know, remaining struck and attracted by them. Perfect and meaningful to make them a solidarity sticker.
The Fortitudo Bologna White Sox are Italy’s champion team in Baseball for the Blind. The team is made up of blind, visually impaired and sighted players, needed to coordinate some game actions. We have tried to convey the idea of the speed, precision and potential of the players inside the folder, in the splendid photos (thanks again to the availability of Giovanni Pini of nonsolovolley.it), the invitation that all we do is to go and watch the sport live.
Baseball for the blind has different rules from the classic one, for example the role of the pitcher does not exist; the hitter, in the attack phase, uses the bat to hit from below, throwing the ball. Sight prompters are provided both in attack and defense, which help blind people to orient themselves better. The ball releases a sound that helps athletes understand its direction.
The photo of the sticker, taken like the others at the final in Milan, celebrates the second consecutive Scudetto. White Sox that not only in Italy but also in Europe and the Americas had the opportunity to compete with other teams, waiting, who knows, to one day have this discipline at the Paralympic Games. Less simple than one might think, also considering how little traditional baseball is considered by the IOC.
FIGURINE FOREVER forWHITE SOX!
With this solidarity sticker it will be possible to support the “Adotta con la Figurina” project where Figurine Forever engages annually in different solidarity projects and support the team and help raise awareness of the unique and incredible reality of Baseball for the Blind.

Celebrative Sticker #24: RUGGERO BAGIALEMANI!
Ruggero Forever! Baseball is a marvelllous sport, if we were in the US some of our champions would be absolute myths, highly sought after even in stickers. In Italy it is different, but a champion is a champion and we are happy to make the second solidarity card dedicated to Baseball. After Alberto “Toro” Rinaldi, the Celebrative Sticker # 24 is the symbol of Nettuno and the Italian national team, Ruggero Bagialemani.
The two champions also have in common the jersey number, the number 20, which no one else will be able to wear because their respective clubs, Fortitudo for Toro and Nettuno for Ruggero have withdrawn it. Not only that, Ruggero declared that the choice of that number is precisely to pay tribute to the great Rinaldi. Now the two champions not only share the jersey number, but both be a Celebrative Sticker!
Not just Nettuno! Ruggero Bagialemani is also a record man for the Italian national team, he has participated in 3 Olympics and 7 world championships. The solidarity card wants to celebrate both his long career in the club of the city near Rome, but also the charm of this incredible sport. For this reason, the printing is 108 copies, like the seams on a baseball. A number that will also remain in the future solidarity cards we will make for baseball, after all, as they say, there is no 2 without 3.
Fundamental partner to create this new solidarity card, was Il Bar del Baseball, the most important reality for all fans in Italy. While waiting for the dream of a Baseball Museum in Nettuno to become a reality, a place to visit, the work they carry out is commendable.
Baseball and the city of Nettuno are one, for the first time our solidarity card has the honor (but also the burden) of being sponsored by a public institution. Thanks to the Municipality and also to the Pro Loco di Nettuno for having joined and supported our initiative.

Happy Birthday “Toro”! On the occasion of Alberto Rinaldi’s 75th birthday, we are excited and happy to announce the Celebrative Sticker #12, dedicated to one of the greatest Italian baseball players of all time. In this way, we are equally satisfied, this splendid sport also becomes part of our solidarity stickers.
Alberto Rinaldi spent a good part of his career wearing the Fortitudo jersey. Bologna is his city, where he lived and still lives, with that splendid interlude in the USA, in Cincinnati. Toro brought a little bit of the USA to Bologna among the first, but there are many reasons, given his wonderful career, to define him “beyond any reasonable doubt” (just to be American a bit..) a legend.
Toro was born in Bologna on 27-7-1946, with Fortitudo Bologna he won league titles and the Champions Cup. He also played in Parma, where he met his future wife Janet. He has the most runs scored in the league in 1967 and 1969. He was the season leader in home runs in 1966 (12), has 56 international caps. Better than Robert De Niro won 5 Oscars (of Baseball): 1962 best young player, 1963 and 1964 best infielder, 1966 best hitter, 1967 most useful player.
In Parma, in that unforgettable match, he was there.
Parma, 5 September 1973, the last day of the 1st Intercontinental Cup, the Italian national team faces the USA, with great public success. It would seem “David against Goliath”, for Italian baseball born 25 years earlier, to face the American masters. Final score 6-5 with a deciding home run by Vic Luciani in the extra inning. The blue baseball legends won.
For this reason, the second edition of Toro Rinaldi’s solidarity card is different from the first and celebrates his career in the blue shirt and his participation in that night as legends.
