I don't know how you guys get on with your fancy one word linking but this game: http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/B04120NYA1983.htm
might've been my first game, but it could have been the 85 home opener too. I remember it was a day game and I know it was just me and my grandfather, but I don't remember Guidry getting pounded, but I was only 8 and I've done alot of drugs since then so it's a tough call. I remember they gave out these "Billy's Back" t shirts, it has a graphic of Martin sticking his thumb out and pointing over his back.
My grandfater made me a scrapbook for the entire season with tons of newspaper clippings, box scores, league leaders... pretty cool stuff and I could defintetly pin down the date but the scrapbook's at my grandmother's house.
