Comment:
This is considered one of MLB baseball’s greatest statistical games with over 100 records set on that day of which a number (records) have survived time including a winning relief performance by Eddie Rommel of 17 innings, 29 hits, 14 runs, and 9 walks.
The autograph: It was extremely difficult with no internet, etc. in this era to find someone who was still alive and had played in this historic game.  So, finding Willis Hudlin and getting him to sign this box score game card was a real find particularly since he was no stiff. His career statistics included a 158–156 record, infamously giving up Babe Ruth’s 500th home run. And he was a good-hitting pitcher recording a .201 batting average (180-for-894) with 76 runs, 5 home runs, 69 RBIs and 52 bases on balls.
