A lot of events in baseball history that are unmatched. The opening day of the National League in 1876. The forming the American League in 1901. Jackie Robinson’s first game in 1947. And many more historic baseball events / games. This day when Luis Tiant of the Boston Red Sox threw Yankee Ron Bloomberg that first designated hitter (DH) pitch, baseball would never be the same. And the complexion of baseball even today is constantly changing because of the DH. That’s why having these two autographs on the same card is very special.
Note: Bloomberg almost wasn’t the first DH. Refer to the article side of the box score game card for details.
