I loved those books.
If memory serves me right, I remember back in the day SCD ran a letter from a fan who was not allowed to get one of those books. Most teams gave them to all fans but some only gave them to kids, and that was the case with this guy. He explained that he was a collector and asked if he could have one, and not only was he turned down but they were rude and said he just wanted to go to the game to drink beer! The poor soul wrote about having to sit through the game watching kids tear the books apart and make paper airplanes from the pages.
