One hit, One Milestone, One Memory Forever
Posted by Tuff Stuff

We were cleaning some areas in the office the other evening, and we came across one of those oversized tickets that are available. This one commemorated a Sept. 9, 1992, Brewers game.

I was happy to have it, and my wife looked at me like "Yeah, it's just another game." Well it isn't, and it's funny how certain dates can stick in your head many years later (aside from birthdays, anniversaries, etc.). This date just happened to be the game in which Robin Yount collected his 3,000th hit. I also remember the team ended up losing that game, helping to dash any postseason hopes for that year (in one of the only seasons between 1982-2007 in which that was possible).

I also remember where I heard that famous Uecker call: "He's done it - 3,000 for Robin!" I was sitting at the kitchen table listening to the radio. Not all Brewers games were televised then, so this was the best option.

I'd imagine many other sports fans and collectors can relay similar stories about a specific game, play or milestone they can recall at a moment's notice. I'd love to hear some of them.

Also, in some card news, Upper Deck has announced that its timelines Baseball product will feature designs from throughout the company's history. While not as storied a past as Topps, Upper Deck still has some cool designs through the years, and it's always fun to see today's young stars in that style.

I'm looking forward to busting that product on the Busin' Wax blog!
