OT: Just for fun. Who is on first?
Just found a picture of myself attending a baseball game when I was a kid. I cut out the background that shows the box score and the current lineup.
I am challenging all of the experts out there to figure out the following: What 2 teams were playing? Name the players at each position. What year was this game played? What stadium? What was the final score? Since I was at the game, I do know some of the answers but it would take some research to find out all the answers. Hint: There is at least 1 HOF in the lineup.

Ballantine gave that away. Yes, it is Yankee Stadium.

David & Donnie,
That was quick. I was hoping it would go a little longer. Just curious, how did you track it down so fast? What led you to that game?

The Ballantine sign was the first clue and the Yankee line-up was self-evident. Was led to the Tigers by #14, Pitcher whom I thought was Bunning but the Old Timers Day message on Saturday, August 8th made the season 1964 by which point Bunning was with the Phillies. But I saw via the uniform roster at Baseball Almanac that Wickersham took the same number and was a pitcher, so it was off to RetroSheet to see when he pitched against the Yanks and thence it all fell into place except for the part about me needing to get a life.
