Based on the finding of the Ripken Record setting game, I thought it was likely that the whole collection was game-used, but still wanted to confirm.

10/1/1995 Orioles vs Tigers was significant because it was both Lou Whitaker and HOF manager Sparky Anderson's final game.

I can't confirm but I think this game also establishes the record for most games by a doubleplay combination since it was Whitaker and Trammell's inal game together.

I was lucky to be able to find that the game is available on YouTube, and then even luckier that they showed a close-up of part of the lineup card on screen, and for some reason (maybe handwriting is neater) show the Orioles lineup card. It's a perfect match for the one I have.
