SAY UNCLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's been forever since I've done one of these posts, but I was given something super ultra neat-o cool today. My parents were cleaning out the last few things from the old house before it gets sold and my father found this...

While it looks rather unimpressive, it's nothing more than a wrinkled torn brittle piece of paper, it's actually very very cool. My dad was telling me that my Uncle got this at the game.

"What game?" I said.
"In '74 , when Aaron hit the home run."
"He was at the game when he hit 715!?!?" (that's me again)
"Yeah, I think so. They gave these out to everyone who was there."

OK, now if I had been at a game where something like the most well known and coveted record in baseball is broken, I'd be sure to pepper it into every conversation I've ever had. I've never heard him mention this before, so I've gotta ask him about this next time I see him, but how cool is that?

You might not be able to make out the wording, cuz my picture taking skills blow, but it states: "I was there when Hank Aaron hit his 715th career home run to pass Babe Ruth as the top home run hitter in the history of baseball."

I did a 'lil research and found out that, yeah, these were handed out to everyone in attendance when Aaron hit #715. I need to find a frame for this cuz like I said, it's pretty dried out and brittle and this is something I don't want to lose or have be destroyed. I'm definitely diggin' this and I'm glad to add it to my collection!
