[QUOTE=roarfrom34;1949976]Thanks for sharing that Charlotte O's game......You are correct that it's something that is seen infrequently...
Staying with a Charlotte O's theme, here is an original team signed document from the National Association (governing body of the Minor Leagues) that confirmed each member of the team has read & understood Rule 21 (the rule that prohibits anyone from betting on a game, accepting a bribe, etc.).
The 1980 Charlotte O's did end up winning the Southern League championship that season, led by a young third baseman by the name of Cal Ripken Jr.: /QUOTE]

Two really neat items. The signed piece is off the charts and love team pictures; especially with Rip included.
