There's a related thread about g-u items that had significance that had been overlooked when you bought them. But this thread's a different slant: g-u items that acquired later importance after they were used.
For example, in 2005 I saw a foul ball leave the South Carolina Gamecocks' old stadium. When the ball was still unclaimed after the game, I picked it up. My memory was that it was hit by either Pearce or Tolleson in that game. I didn't think much more about it until I saw this morning that both Pearce and Tolleson played in last night's Baltimore win over Boston, with Pearce having two RBI's. And last year, my wife and I bought a g-u ball from the Rangers' August win over the Angels that we attended. That win later gave the Rangers a one-game advantage over the Tigers, that determined the ALDS pairings.
