1913-1915 era NY Yankees ticket
Hey Jeff,
Here is a NY Yankees ticket stub that I own from the 1913-1915 era.
Note the Midland Beach sponsor on the back of the stub. This could certainly be a clue as to the exact year...
Since technically both Frank J. Farrell and Jacob Ruppert were team President in 1915, there were two different ticket sets printed because of the change in ownership mid-year.
For example, a patron purchasing tickets early in the year for home game # 66 would have been issued a Frank J. Farrell President ticket. If the same patron purchased a ticket closer to game # 66 after the ownership change, they likely would have been sold a ticket with Jacob Ruppert, President instead.
If you follow my logic, this ticket stub could thus be from 1915 (early issue), 1913 or 1914.
