I'd definitely want a copy! Ha!
Haha me too!
Today in 1928, the Yankee's - A's game featured a record 12 future Hall of Fame players on the field, not to mention 2 HOF managers and an umpire! Nothing like this has ever been achieved since, and probably never will be!

Fame Game: Ruth, Cobb and the day a dozen Hall of Famers faced off
The Yankees and A's put a combined 12t future Hall of Famers on the field during a regular season game 89 years ago. To this day, there's never been another matchup quite like it.

Wow, what a find! This one is certainly not getting topped today! @AndyDrummond, here's one for the Twitter!
I was not at all aware that such a game had ever been played, much less with the regular rosters of those two teams in 1928. Those were some real legends back then!!
Great one @kclj520! As Mike suggested, I shared this on our social media accounts!
How cool! Thank you!!
May 25, 1965 - Muhammad Ali KOs Sonny Liston at 2:12 of round 1 at Central Maine Civic Center, Lewiston to retain his WBC/WBA heavyweight boxing title
May 29th, 1990 - Rickey steals record 893rd base, breaking Ty Cobb’s record. He finished with up his career with 1,406 career stolen bases. A record that will most-likely never be broken.
May 30th, 1948 - Schenectady Blue Jays Tommy Lasorda strikes out 25 in 15-inning game. Who knew?
SO glad you enjoyed DC, always fun for other collectors to get something unique, and always a compliment when people enjoy my work!!
Blessings,

June 1st, 1925 was the first game of Lou Gehrig's Iron Man 2,130 consecutive games streak!
I remember getting his "Baseball's All Time Greats" card as a child, and reading that he was the Iron Man, this was before Ripken surpassed Lou's record!

Tracing streaks between Gehrig and Ripken
On June 1, 1925, Lou Gehrig played in the first of what would be 2,130 consecutive games, a mark that stood as the longest consecutive games played streak in MLB history until Cal Ripken Jr. played in his 2,131st on Sept. 6, 1995, to break it. Gehrig’s streak ended on
