Picked up this ticket earlier today. On Oct. 2, 1977 the Dodgers and Astros were playing the last game of the regular season. Dusty Baker hit his 30th HR of the season off J.R. Richard making the Dodgers the first team in history to have four players with 30 or more HR's in a season.

Something with more long-term, pop-culture implications also happened during this game. Glenn Burke was credited with creating the high-five celebration during this game when he gave Dusty Baker a high-five after his record breaking HR.
