Ripken & Boddicker in the same Lineup; 25 Years Apart!

I was recently going through my game used lineup cards and something caught my eye that I thought was pretty cool....
Here is the game used lineup card from 06/25/88 which happened to be the 1000th consecutive game of Cal Ripken Jr.'s streak & the starting pitcher that afternoon was their ace (and soon to be traded), Mike Boddicker:
Fast forward 25 years and I'm attending an amateur game between the Youse's Maryland Orioles & Vienna (a collegiate summer baseball league) and in the lineup that day and playing first base is Cal's son Ryan and batting eighth and playing second is Mike Boddicker's son, James...
After the game, James Boddicker was kind enough to give me the lineup card that hung in the dugout:
These are the kind of things that make the hobby fun!
Enjoy!
