    Hey, look what I found in my basement while digging through stuff in an old cigar box. A ticket stub from Jerry Rice's 1st regular season game in the NFL.

    Jerry Rice has been mentioned as the greatest football player in NFL History. That's debatable, but the fact he made the first catch of his memorable NFL Hall of Fame career in the Metrodome, is not.

    Jerry Rice's stats on 09/08 @ MIN -- 4 catches for 67 yards, no TD's

    Provenance: My brother worked for the radio station broadcasting SF 49's. I was living in the upper Midwest, and he invited me to meet him in Minneapolis to watch the game. We watched Lon Simmons and Don Kline call the game. The only other person in Booth C was the producer, but I do not recall his name.

    Of other memorable note to sports collectors is that the Sept. 8 game also marked the return of Bud Grant as head-coach of the Vikings. Grant was coaxed out of retirement, and his first game back was against the defending Super Bowl Champs, San Francisco.

      Oh, There were two other people packed in there with us employed as "spotters." By-the-way, Minnesota won the game.
