If You Collect Scorecards or Programs, Show 'em Here!

I was thinking that John's Spring Training Hank Aaron debut scorecard probably trumps my 1st home run scorecard in terms of scarcity!

And then I got to thinking a little more....that if I went to the National for another 20 years, it's unlikely that I'd ever see most of the scorecards and programs that have already been shown in this thread!!

Here's another Spring Training program that probably represents the earliest Fergie Jenkins and Dick Allen sightings I've ever seen. Fergie wouldn't go on to play for the Phils in the regular season until a couple years later (Sept. 1965), while Allen would make his regular season debut for the Phils in Sept. 1963.

Edited for apologies: I have no idea why the photos are posting sideways! Will try to correct at next posting!

Well, since you're twisting my arm, here are a few from Mr. Aaron :

MLB debut game

HR #1

HR #2 (and Musial #260)

HR #300

HR #500

HR #600
Aaron 2-5 2B HR; Mays 4-6 2B.
This was the first game in nearly 43 years where 2 members of the 3000 hit club (since some guys named Cobb, Speaker and Collins did it a bunch of times) had extra base hits.

HR #661 (no cover, just the scoresheet)

HR #714

HR #715

Last career run scored (with thanks to Scott the GrayGhost)

If I'm counting right, I have scored programs / scorecards for 167 of his homers.

Apologies for the non scorecard but this Ball was signed By Aaron as the Braves played 2 preseason games vs the Red Sox in South Carolina. The Boston Braves had played their Cross town Rivals for 50 years 1901 to 1952 when the Braves left for Milwaukee. They played in 53 in Milwaukee but game lost money so the tradition died. But in spring of 54 they decided to meet up a couple days before the season started. Ball is signed by both Red Sox and Braves. There is a quote from Ted Williams who commented after hearing the sound of Aaron's bat. I belive it was at these games. ( I promise I will get back to scorecards )

I'm working on a run of World Series programs and tickets from 1930 to 1980 (but i also pick up an occasional scorecard or ASG program). This gave me a nice excuse to get them out.

It's Bob Uecker's 89th birthday, so in honor of the event, here's his Sept 30, 1962 first career homerun...
