and my favorite return this week was from Marlan Coughtry. I have been looking for Mr. Coughtry for quite some time. Every once in a while I check to see if he is doing any signings. Each time I come up with nothing. I was finally able to locate Marlan and I wrote him a letter asking if it was ok if I sent him a card to sign. He wrote back in under a week giving me the okay. I was thrilled when I got this card back today along with a nice letter. I was able to finish off this Rookie Parade card for my set and met another nice former player TTM. Thanks again!

1969 Phillies Scorecard

I picked up a pretty neat 40+ year old, 22 page Phillies scorecard today. It’s in great condition. I love finding stuff like this. It’s full of some great old ads (I wish a new car was still $1895), player info, and stats. This scorecard was actually scored. Some people don’t like that, but I do.

This particular scorecard was from a Phillies – Giants game. That day the Giants hit back-to-back-to-back homeruns.

The Giants lineup included: Bobby Bonds, Willie McCovey, Dave Marchall, Hal Lanier, Ron Hunt, Ken Henderson, Tito Fuentes, Bob Barton. Mike McCormick was the starting pitcher.

The Phillie lineup included: Tony Taylor, Johnny Callison, Dick Allen, Deron Johnson, Larry Hisle, Cookie Rojas, Don Money, Mike Ryan. The SP was John Boozer.

I plan on sending this out to a few of the old players. First up: Woodie Fryman. Woodie pitched in the majors from 1966-1983. In 18 seasons, he put up a record of 141-155.
