Earl Weaver's lineup card from the Orioles/Royals game from 08/12/81. The significance of this game was this was the 2nd game of a DH that day and this was the FIRST time that Cal Ripken Jr. was listed as a starter in a MLB Game and his first plate/defensive appearance (hae had made his big league debut a couple days earlier as a pinchrunner):
