Nice program Mike.

Old timers games were popular in the 1980's and 90's. Equitable sponsored games in Baltimore in 1987, 1988 and 1989.

Here are those programs. Quite easy to find.

A lesser known game took place in Phoenix, in February 1990, between the 1969 Chicago Cubs and the 1969 Orioles. It was promoted as the Dream Game and the World Series that might have been. The game benefited the Phoenix Memorial Hospital Foundation in Phoenix. In addition to the game was a dinner and banquet. I wish I knew the score..

If everyone listed in the program showed up, that's a pretty nice group of players. Look how we have lost, from that list, since 1990.
