This was my view.
Aside from great seats, the game was entertaining as the D-Backs beat the Padres 6-3. Archie Bradley got his first home start of the year and had a career high 9 strikeouts. It was also nice to spend some time with my brother on his birthday and two of my nieces.
My brother and nieces left as soon as the game ended, but I opted to stick around hoping to get something from the dugout. It wasn't looking good, and then one of the D-Backs staff members tossed up a batting glove to a little girl standing about 10 feet away from where I was standing. Nobody saw it there laying on the ground, so I walked over, picked it up and gave it to the little girl. I looked at the staff member to let him know I had given the glove to the girl. he acknowledged me and then went back into the dugout and came back quickly and tossed a piece of paper up on the roof of the dugout. I grabbed it, not knowing what it was.
When i turned it over I saw this.
It's the Padres lineup card that they had given to the D-Backs. It's fairly small. Probably about 5 x 7. Not as cool as a glove, but still a cool memento from the game.
What's the coolest game-used thing you've ever gotten from a baseball game?
I think that's cooler than the glove. How many people have game-used lineup cards?

ReplyDeleteThat sure is awesome!
ReplyDeleteNice surprise! That's really cool!
ReplyDeleteAs a collector of lineup cards (mostly minor league), I think it is very cool! You could put the card and ticket stub in a frame and it would look awesome.

I have thought about framing them or at least putting them in an 8 x 10 top loader together. Very cool site you have!
