Thank you!

Lineup card from the A's vs Indians August 17, 1933. HOF Earl Averill hit for the only cycle of his career in the game. Couple of legendary baseball names were the managers on this one.

Have to get the thread to the top. Base-stealing expert Maury Wills started 1969 with the Montreal Expos, but was soon traded back to the Dodgers. Upon returning to Montreal to play the Expos, Wills (not known as a slugger) hit his one and only career grand slam on August 16, 1969. Although undated, this is the only date this line-up ever appeared in a road game.

Fantastic card! Was that from the recent collection of 1969 lineup cards that hit eBay? I picked up a few from those listings.

Yup, Jeff, from the eBay listings. Since they aren't dated, it takes a bit of leg work to figure out which game they were from. The Wills Line-up card isn't a major find, but I didn't have anything relating to his career in my collection so I was happy to get it.

Yup. I was able to pick up a Hank Aaron HR, which I was very pleased to find.

Wills may not be a household name anymore, but he was such a huge part of the Dodgers for a really long time!

Been looking for a Pete Rose as the Reds Manager Lineup Card for awhile now, it's a Spring Training Game, but it'll do. This would be Rose's last year as a Player/Manager '86.

Player Manager, '84, '85, '86. Just Manager '87, '88, & '89.

Wonder if Pete had a few bucks on this game.
