Official National League (Giles) baseball was number 32 of the season and number 136 of Santo's career. Hit on September 23, 1965 at Wrigley Field.

Buhrke was a Wrigley Field ball hawk who was responsible for collecting hundreds of homerun balls that left the park. Comes with a letter from Buhrke and a copy of the April 25, 1977 Sports Illustrated which featured an article on him.
