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.
