Joe Montana, Dwight Clark, Oscar Robertson and the unappointed U.S. ambassador to North Korea are coming to Long Beach Saturday.
The San Francisco 49ers quarterback-and-receiver tandem responsible for “The Catch” are scheduled to join the two NBA Hall of Famers–Robertson and Dennis Rodman–at the Long Beach Coin, Stamp & Sports Collectible Expo in the Long Beach Convention Center.
