Fun interview, Jeff! Tom does a great job with the write-ups.

I thought it odd to find Clayton Kershaw's name scratched out on this batting order card. Lo and behold, it was his first career use as a pinch hitter. Not exactly his debut or a no-hitter, but fun to research and discover.



Let's keep it going. Only 1.14 million views behind the pennants thread!

Don't think I ever shared these here. Realizing now that I never took a picture on my own, so this comes from the auction house where it was purchased.

1979 Pirates vs Orioles World Series game 1.

Thought I would share this 1955 Dodgers lineup card in honor of Gil Hodges making the Hall. In this game, he and Duke Snider hit home runs.

This is the lineup card from the 2015 Futures Game. There are many stars from today that played like Aaron Judge, Trea Turner, Trevor Story, Lucas Giolito, Josh Bell, Matt Olson, Blake Snell, Aaron Nola, JP Crawford, Ozzie Albies, Gary Sanchez, Jose Berrios, Rafael Devers, Nomar Mazara, Aldaberto Mondesi, Edwin Diaz, and Ketel Marte. This was also signed by Tony Kemp, Lucas Giolito, Matt Olson, Trea Turner, Mark Appel, Aaron Nola and manager Ken Griffey Sr.

That's awesome! I have the 2005 Futures game. Best player was Justin Verlander (who had made his MLB debut the week before).

July 31, 1970 Twins vs Tigers lineup card.

A ton happened in this game:

• Bob Allison final career Home Run
• Bert Blyleven rookie start (12th career start)
• HOF Tony Oliva HR (149th of his career)

It's amazing how many never make it at all, and how few become stars. (Obviously there's a lot of space in between those two)
