Here is home plate umpire Rick Reed's lineup card from that game...A couple years ago I had Jim signed & inscribe it:
Man, first I don't understand how you come up with this stuff and you have to go and add to it by getting Palmer to sign it which just adds to the coolness factor...

Really like that pen by the way.
