My dad took me to my first game on July 10, 1983. We saw the Twins beat the Indians 6-4 at the Metrodome. I came across the ticket stubs recently and looked up the box score. Through eBay and some TTM requests, I got signed cards of all the players that played in the game, both managers, and all four umpires. I had them mounted with the stubs and a copy of the box score. Here is the result:http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e184/avsfan23/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0633_zps908e2e63.jpghttp://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e184/avsfan23/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0637_zps824d6f15.jpghttp://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e184/avsfan23/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0638_zps6ed711c9.jpghttp://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e184/avsfan23/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0636_zps5698e269.jpg

I'm going to give it to him for Christmas. Hope he likes it!

That was a great idea. Wish I had thought of it before all the guys in my first game started dying.

Very nice. I'm working on the same thing slowly with my first game as well http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/MON/MON198208150.shtml

Thanks everyone! It was a fun project and a great way to get introduced to the autograph hobby. Even more fun will be giving it to Dad and seeing his reaction!

Awesome idea. I'm sure he will cherish it as you cherish the experience.

Pretty neat. I saw my first major league game the next month, August 20, 1983, Angels at NYY.

Scott,
you know that a certain auction house in PA can gladly get you any of the players you might need autographs of :).:D
