My 1st game was very memorable as I saw BOTH Jackie Robinson & Roy Campanella hit home runs!

Sat May 9, 1953 when I was 12 yrs old, I saw my 1st game at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, Dodgers-Phillies w/ Preacher Roe against Robin Roberts.

A back & forth game in which the Dodgers won w/ 2 outs in the 9th via a walk-off (they didn't call it that back then) 2-run shot by Campanella against a route-going Robin Roberts for a 7-6 Dodger win.

I still have my ticket stub from the game!

Here's the box score and all the players I saw that day:
