Hi all. I recently started a new TTM project.
Years ago, my late mom lived up in San Francisco area and used to go to games at Candlestick Park to watch "her team". Willie Mays was her favorite player.
In a box of old papers that she wanted me to have, I found this ticket stub from a game she attended:
Using my keen detective skills, I found information about that particular game on the internet. Seems the Giants beat up on the L.A. Dodgers that game, beating them 7-3. Winning pitcher was Mike McCormick who threw a complete game! Also, in that game, Willie Mays, Orlando Cepeda, and Jim Davenport socked home runs. My mom must have been thrilled to see Willie hit one out that game.
So, I decided that I would try to get as many autos of Giants who played that day as possible. I already have autographs of Mays and Cepeda.
Sent out a 1961 Topps to Mike McCormick a week ago and got this one in today:
Sent one to Jim Davenport the other day and will hopefully get that one soon. Due to how long ago that game was, I am sure I won't be able to get all the players TTM now, but will see what I can accomplish.
Thanks for looking.
