Fleerfan said...: Were you fortunate enough to be at the game that night - in other words, is this your scorecard from that evening, or was this something you acquired later?

Either way, this is a great piece of history. Thanks for sharing the pics!; April 8, 2008 10:23 PM
dayf said...: I was in diapers when this game was played, so I unfortunately wasn't there.

I picked this up later on and no one will believe where I got it. I'll save that for another post.; April 8, 2008 10:54 PM

(BTW, did you ever get the scan of the newspaper clipping I sent you?); April 8, 2008 11:01 PM

Great item.; April 9, 2008 12:56 PM

I remember my folks taking me to a game in St. Louis on 5/6/72 and I saw Hank hit #645 off Reggie Cleveland. At that time Hank was #3 on the list, as Willie Mays had 646, but even as an 8 year old, I knew I'd seen something pretty special.; April 9, 2008 3:49 PM
