I think you're right, it was kinescope recording. I do have the 1960 Pirates program for the World Series packed away somewhere. A side note, I also have the 1970 program when Three Rivers Stadium opened in Pittsburgh, my father took some of those pictures, he was one of the commercial/industrial photographers for the firm that was contracted by the Pirates. Earlier in his career, he worked with George Romero before he made Night of the Living Dead. BTW, after that game, my parents and aunt and uncle had a pair of Vespa motor scooters and since traffic was bad, it was the only way to get through traffic to make it home.
