I just picked this program up. It was from a 1967 Charity Testimonial Banquet hosted in Eerie PA. First time I have come across one of these. The honorees were the MLB MVP Clemente and NFL MVP Bart Starr. Pirates manager Harry Walker was in attendance as well as was HOF member Garo Yepremian who had just completed his rookie season that saw him set an NFL record six Field Goals in a single game. Bob Prince was the MC. Each one of them signed this program. I found a photo of Clemente and Starr at the event. If you look at Starr’s left hand he is holding a copy of this program.

Whoops I stand corrected Garo is not in the NFL HOF. How embarrassing for both of us.

Beautiful rare program, Mike, and all the more rarer with those signatures!

Very cool, Mike! Congrats

Here's a scorecard from Nolan Ryan's 1st complete game. In his very next start, he'd strike out 14 batters!

The search is the life, isn't it...kind of?

Keeping the Nolan Ryan theme, here's his first career start, with his first career decision.

Good one, Doug!
Note that Nolan wore uniform #34, not #30 in 1966.
When he pitched in 1968, as a rookie with the Mets, he started wearing #30.

Another great scorecard, Doug! Ryan got shelled in the first inning of the first game of a doubleheader, with the recorded attendance being less than 15,000. Again, you gotta wonder how many of these scorecards survived! The attendance for the card I posted for his first complete game was less than 10,000. I'm sure more are out there, but I certainly haven't seen any other examples of either!

Hi Doug,
Here is an extremely rare ticket stub that is a match to your scored program to Nolan's 1st ML start game in 1966.

That looks super nice, Doug...

But with those tightly cropped images, I am left wondering about the background of this program.
