My father's 1964 license plate.

I was 16 when my parents took me to a Cubs game at the Milwaukee Braves' County Stadium on Sunday, June 7, 1964. The Cubs won, 5-2. Ernie Banks hit a 2-run homer in the fourth to give the Cubs a 2-0 lead. Hank Aaron hit a 2-run homer in the fifth to tie the game at 2. Billy Williams hit another 2-run homer in the sixth to give the Cubs a 4-2 lead. Andre Rodgers drove in Lou Brock in the top of the ninth to give the Cubs the final margin of victory. My mom, my dad and I were Cubs fans. My sister Claudia pulled for the Braves. Her favorite player, Eddie Matthews, hit a double, but didn't score.
