How about half an 1875 scorecard.

Well, half a scorecard is better than no scorecard at all! And that is one petite scorecard!

The program below is from when Unitas threw his 100th TD pass. He became the fastest to throw 100 passing TDs, and accomplished this in his 53rd game, during his streak of 47 consecutive games in which he threw at least 1 touchdown pass. Marino would later become the fastest to 100 TD passes in 1986, needing only 44 games to do so.

In honor of Tim McCarver, here is his third career game, his second appearance at catcher, and the first time he caught Bob Gibson. This was the first time the team won with him behind the plate, and it was Gibson's second career win, versus five losses.

Many of us have heard the story of McCarver going out to the mound when Gibson pitched and being told by the pitcher to get back behind the plate. "The only thing you know about pitching," Gibson said, "is how hard it is to hit."

It's quite possible that at some point during this 6-4 win, which ended with McCarver 0-10 at the plate so far in his career, Gibson said exactly that to McCarver first the very first time.

Note that while the person who scored this game shows McCarver getting singles in the 5th and 9th, both were actually fielder's choice outs where he ended up at first base.
