I've had this rain check since I was 13 years old. September 14, 1968--the afternoon of Denny McLain's 30th victory of the season. My mother took me to a lot of Ladies/Retirees days at Tiger Stadium when I was a kid--women and kids 14 and younger got in for fifty cents. A heckuva good deal! And I knew this game was an important one. My scorecard is long gone, but the rain check has stayed with me through half a dozen moves. Great memories!
