Notation written on the verso, dated June 14, 1976 reads, ""The principal attractions of Old-timers Day at Dodger Stadium yesterday were Willie Mays and Don Drysdale, and they didn't disappoint the turnout of 36,497. Pitching to Mays in the first inning, Drysdale sent one of his feared sidearm deliveries into the back of his longtime nemesis, who yelped in pain - real or staged - and then turned to John Roseboro, Drysdale's battery mate, to air his complaint. Mays was brushed back again by Drysdale before finally walking.
