QPQ: Done.

Overall: Looks good. No copyvio detected with Earwig, image is PD (though I'd recommend limiting to one tag, as no notice automatically means PD for that era). Not sure about having such a lengthy blurb for the image on the MP, so it might be trimmed. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 22:07, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1961 Pittsburg State Gorillas (pictured with UPI trophy) leads one to believe it's a picture of the entire team. It's not a bad photo, but it's nothing terribly exciting either so I think we'd be OK running this one without the image. RoySmith (talk) 22:25, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
