This was the last game played at Comiskey Park. Not only was Comiskey the person a pillar in the growth of MLB early twentieth century but the players who played and signed this box score game card that make it so extraordinary. First, you have Ken Griffey Jr playing alongside his dad Ken Griffey Sr. the only father-son ever to play in the same game together. Secondly, Jack McDowell threw the first pitch that day and ended up the last winning pitcher in Comisky Park history. Then, Bobby Thigpen recorded his 57 save of the season shattering at the time the MLB record while throwing the last pitch in Comisky park history. While HOF Frank Thomas had one of the two Sox RBIs. Lastly, a little-known rookie named Sammy Sosa appeared in right field for the Sox not the Cubs.

Truly a rare box score game card when you consider the game and the players who signed the game card.
