My addition to this thread:

I just received this wonderful and in fantastic shape 1969 Washington Senators Opening Day scorecard. Scored too. Another really cool part of this is that my sister went to this game with her boyfriend at the time.

AND I HAVE THE TICKETS TOO!! She got both of the tickets and the one picture shows the front of one ticket and the back of the other one with her writing of April 7, 1969. The date is also scribed on the front of the score card. Regrettably the Senators lost to the Yanks 8-4 on that day but Hondo smacked career home run #243.

And Little Tavern made the best damned hamburger you ever bit your teeth into. I so miss that place.

WOOT!

1938 Princeton vs Penn. Notice the eyes.. one of the few Programs that I display( because when I got it it was in the frame). And a couple basketball. There are jump shots and then there are Jump Shots.. the least attractive is from the First game the Philadelphia 76ers.

From Stan The Man's five home run doubleheader in 1954 - both scorecards, nicely scored. Plus an original wirephoto from between games. Mr. Musial signed both scorecards for me and hearing him talk about that day was like a religious experience. "I should have had six" he laughed (he pinned Mays against the center field wall in the 3rd inning of the second game). He said he never tried to hit home runs but he wanted one in his last at bat and popped out to first. An incredibly genuine and nice man. I treasure the conversation with him as much as the scorecards.

Great scorecards and a better conversation/dialog with a HOFer
