17 year old Tim McCarver plays his first home game. Wearing uniform #51 and leading off for the Cardinals he singles in the 1st and scores his first career run. He walks in the 2nd and singles again in the 4th as the Cards beat the Phillies 6-4. When he signed this scorecard, he opened it up and was commenting on what he remembered about that game. It was really fun to hear him reminisce. The first game I ever attended was at old Busch Stadium. Tim McCarver hit a home run off Sandy Koufax. I was hooked.
