The program below is from when Unitas threw his 100th TD pass. He became the fastest to throw 100 passing TDs, and accomplished this in his 53rd game, during his streak of 47 consecutive games in which he threw at least 1 touchdown pass. Marino would later become the fastest to 100 TD passes in 1986, needing only 44 games to do so.

In honor of Tim McCarver, here is his third career game, his second appearance at catcher, and the first time he caught Bob Gibson. This was the first time the team won with him behind the plate, and it was Gibson's second career win, versus five losses.

Many of us have heard the story of McCarver going out to the mound when Gibson pitched and being told by the pitcher to get back behind the plate. "The only thing you know about pitching," Gibson said, "is how hard it is to hit."

It's quite possible that at some point during this 6-4 win, which ended with McCarver 0-10 at the plate so far in his career, Gibson said exactly that to McCarver first the very first time.

Note that while the person who scored this game shows McCarver getting singles in the 5th and 9th, both were actually fielder's choice outs where he ended up at first base.

So, I don't have lots of scorecards, but these are cool. I got these when my father bought part of Ken Smith's collection back in the 1980's. These are Puerto Rican winter league programs 1954-58. I have 7 or 8 of them. lots of notes about players in the margins. A few are scored including this one from 1954. You might recognize a couple guys on this team









If you want to see the rest of them, I have them in this flickr album..

I was at that game at Crosley Field! Hammerin' Hank's 3,000th hit was a little dribbler up the middle that somehow found its way through the infield. It was the second game of a double-header (The Reds won Game 1, thanks to homers by Rose and Perez).

Still an unforgettable moment in which Hank was greeted and congratulated by Stan Musial, who was in the crowd that day. Awesome Program!

Can you possibly post a photo of the Reds lineup page? I think Perez had 5 consecutive hits in the nightcap to help the Reds to a comeback victory. But my memory may be playing tricks on me.

Thanks so much for posting this!

Perez was 5-5 thru the 10th, but grounded out in the 11th and struck out in the 13th.

Here's mine

This is very cool … Greg Luzinski was my high school baseball coach. Great guy.

But who is that listed behind him in the order? That should be John Vukovich. There is no #30 on the roster
