Reason I asked is that I visited me Auntie in Lakeland that year


She was the local Tigger mega-fan and knew all the players, manager, and owner.

She got us to an exhibition game between the Yankees and Tigers. After the game, Pepitone tossed me a ball and then autographed it. I ended up getting it signed by many of the greatest players of my youth that day. Kaline, Horton, Lolich, Cash, Stottlemyer, White, Mantle (His last spring), Tresh, among others. Later, I was able to take the pitcher's mound for a photo op.

Now that I think of it, that ball is my most cherished childhood possession. Also, your program had to be 1964 or before if you had Berra on it.
