Mine is 1983 update Lee Mazzilli with the Yankees. He is rounding second base after a homer with Robin Yount standing in the background. I was at the game at Yankee Stadium II. Brewers went back to back to back and Gorman Thomas almost made it four straight. Yankees won thriller 9-8.
Didn’t get that lucky. We were in foul territory. I have to correct myself. Mazzilli’s 1983 card was the regular series not the traded. It’s still the only card in 60 plus years of cards that I know I was in the park when the photo took place. I hope I see Lee at an autograph session sometime to share the memory like I did with Torey Lovullo. He hit me with a foul ball at Yuma AZ in spring training and I shared the story and got him to sign the ball a few months later in 1993.
I've got to select Atlanta-Fulton County. It was my first and now it's gone. When I went to the Ted, I visited the 715 Wall. For that reason the card I'm selecting is the 1994 Topps Aaron tribute card: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/e34AAOSww0llrbmq/s-l1200.jpg
Mario signed a program for me at Fenway in 1974 that I still have. I was 12 years old and it's still a treasured memory. Mario and Roger Moret signed for me.My first big league autographs! And I have the whole 1975 set. My favorite!

Awesome that you were there! Are you in the crowd on the card? :)

Sounds like a Seinfeld episode.

Neat card. Funny how 1974 seemed so looonnnngg ago in 1994, but now 1994 seems like last week.
