First Ballgame Project Complete

[dano7]

My parents took me to my first major league ballgame(s) on 8/1/62, for a double header between the Yankees and Senators, in Washington. I still have the program. I researched and found the box scores. Then I have been working on obtaining the autographs of all the players I saw that day. The journey is complete, with the addition of Tom Cheney and Joe Hicks, as of yesterday's mail!

Wow, that is really cool. I recently came across my ticket stubs from my first game at Wrigley when I was kid and was thinking of doing something with them.

Excellent project! When you get a chance, can you show us pics of the whole project? I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love to see them!

Maybe I'll have time in the next day or two! Thanks for asking!

Aside from the expense of Maris (no Mantle needed I see), were any real tough to locate or pricy? I don't see any names that stand out as being toughies, but then again if they aren't Dodgers, I don't always know.

A long time ago I had obtained a signed Senators program that included Gil Hodges on it and later was happy to discover it also had a somewhat elusive Phil Ortega too! Always fun to discover you had a toughie and didn't even know it at the time.

Maris and Elston Howard were the most expensive of the Yankees. For the Senators, it just took time trying to find some of them, as maybe their autographs weren't as sought after. Plus several are deceased.
