I assume you're talking about the one I posted, and while I was not completely present at the moment that it was signed, here are a couple pictures taken from right next to me.

If mine is "secretarial" than the secretary looks to have been either Frank Robinson, Bob Lurie or Mike Sadek (I think).

I don't doubt your story one iota and the Giants did play a home game against the Phillies on that date, but what puzzles me is Mike Sadek was released in August 1981 and the only two players who wore #3 in 1982 for the Giants were Jeff Ransom and John Rabb, for obvious reasons the player wearing #3 cannot be either of them. The mystery is who is that in the #3 jacket?

It was old-timer's day, that's why Mays was there. Which doesn't explain Sadek (if it's him)...

Stand by for the definitive answer….

(Sadek’s kid sells on ebay)

Sadek’s kid is cool.

Sadek must have shown up for the Old Timer's Game after being out of the Majors for less than a year . ETA, apparently the Giants retired #3 after the 1982 season for Bill Terry because no one has worn it since Ransom and Rabb in 1982.
