Mike, I didn't go to the game. My dad picked that ticket up in the building elevator the night of the game. Fifteen years later, when I started collecting, he gave me the ticket. Hmmmm... A full, unused ticket. I saw "Yankees". Okay. I then saw "World Series". Even better. Then I saw "1977" and was thinking, 'Nah, it couldn't be.... Which game was it - the three dingers?' BOOYEAH! A year later, when Reggie was inducted, he was scheduled to sign at a show in New York City. So I walked over to the hotel (Hilton?) where they were holding the show. That's when I got the ticket signed. I am a fan of the 1977 Yankees. My Reggie collection centers around that night. I have a 1977 Burger King Yankee set (complete with the Piniella) incoming.

I just unearthed these two. I also have the program from the game. It was a mere quarter of a century before I was born.

Great Reggie auto - did you go to that game?
Reggie was a big mouth - he came to NYC - bragging he'ld take the yanks to the WS, win games and have a bar named after himself.
Well!
He did all a dat! The guy's OK in my book!
