Giants HOF great Willie Mays also plated his 499th career HR in the same game.
This would prove to be the last complete game in Spahn's amazing career as he retired at the end of the 1965 season.
363 career wins and he fought in the Battle of the Bulge- wow!
What an amazing life...

Very cool ticket. I've always felt his career deserves much more appreciation than it has received.
