Great stuff as always, Jeff!

As you already know, I won this lineup card in Lelands last night, and at a great price. I think it slid under the radar.

Beauty! Yup, we chatted about it and I am with you that it was definitely a steal. Congrats!

Very nice pick-up, these are not easy to find.

I picked up my first line-up card in a mixed lot of collectibles a little while ago. It's from the Pirates in April 1976.

Looks like 4/30/1976

Dave Parker's 6th career HR.

Very cool.

9/10/1951 Yankees lineup card

Features a rookie Mickey Mantle in right field playing next to Joe DiMaggio in the latter's 10th to last (regular season) game.

One of 3 Mantle/DiMaggio lineup cards from 1951 known to still exist.

Sometimes you go into a game knowing it could be important. Maybe it is the debut of a highly touted prospect. Or it is the final game of the season with playoff implications

Other times you don't know before, but you figure it out during the game. Maybe a big star gets 4 home runs, or a pitcher pitches a no-hitter.

Other times, the significance of a moment is only noticable some time later.

On August 22, 2023, Mike Trout returned from injury. He played one game and returned to the injured list for the remainder of the season.

At the end of the year, Shohei Ohtani signed with the Dodgers.

The result is that this game represents the final time that Trout and Ohtani played together as teammates. Likely the final time their names will ever be penciled in on the same 'official batting order' card.
