Good stuff Larry. Including Broglio with the Cardinals is probably why this set is dated to 1964, since he was gone from St. Louis in the Brock trade mid-season that year. Still, I have not seen any newspaper accounts of an event from where these were given out in 1964. Then again I focused my search in Carolina-- maybe these were also distributed elsewhere?

Kind of strange that a ballpark giveaway for a Twins farm club would not include players from the parent team.
