Paper banquet program to say farewell to Doug DeCinces. No date included but assume it is around 1981 or 1982. Never seen before. He played last game I 1981 but traded January 1982. Would they send him off like this or was it later when he retired?

DeCinces was traded to the Angels in late January of '82, so I suspect this banquet program is from shortly thereafter, as he would be on his way to Spring Training.....When he retired from baseball in the late 1980's guys like Bert Jones and Joe Washington (who played for the Colts) were long gone..
I suppose since it was hastily put together, Brooks was unable to attend...Certainly a neat item that I've never seen.
