Default Yankee home tickets at the Polo Grounds 1913 to 1922

Trying to determine dates of NY Yankee tickets when they played their home-games at the Polo Grounds. Have one and received images of two more from net54 users.

Please post any Yankee tickets from when they played home games at the Polo Grounds: 1913 to 1922.

So far I know the following:
- Yankees played Home games at Polo Grounds 1913 to 1922.
- All three of these are from 1919 (since they all have "Theatre Ordinance Dec 1918") to 1922.
- I believe all three are from different years and in the order I have them below.
- The 62-D would be the latest of the three, since War Tax was replaced with Tax paid. Not sure when the War Tax ended (WWI ended Nov of 1918), but was obviously still being collected.

34 (possible T at bottom of circle, between the 6 and 8) (possible years: 1919 - 1920) - Same print type as Game 27
- White
- Theatre Ordinance Dec 1918
- War Tax .08
- $.85
- Printer: Ansell Ticket Co.

27 (possible years: 1920 - 1921) - Same print type as Game 34
- Orange
- Theatre Ordinance Dec 1918
- War Tax .10
- $1.10

62-D (possible years: 1921 - 1922)
- Orange
- Theatre Ordinance Dec 1918
- Tax Paid .10
- $1.10
- Printer: M.B. Brown Co

Default 1919 Yankees home schedule

I believe I have determined that the Game #34 ticket was from 1920, thus the others being 21 and 22.

In 1919 game #34 was the second game of a DH
4/23 - Bos, 4/24 - Bos, 4/25 - Bos, 4/26 - Bos
4/28 - Phil, 4/29 - Phil, 4/30 - Phil
5/09 - Wash, 5/10 - Wash, 5/12 - Wash
6/05 - Chi, 6/06 - Chi, 6/07 - Chi, 6/09 - Chi
6/10 - Det, 6/11 - Det, 6/12 - Det, 6/13 - Det
6/14 - StL, 6/16 - StL, 6/17 - StL
6/18 - Cle, 6/19 - Cle, 6/20 - Cle, 6/21 - Cle
6/23 - Phil, 6/24 - Phil, 6/25 - Phil, 6/26 - Phil
6/27 - Bos, 6/28 - Bos, 6/30 - Bos
7/04 - Wash, 7/04 - Wash <-- #34

So no ticket would be issued for game 34: See game 38 in below link

Would be great if anyone had a ticket from that time period to post.

Default 1915 Yankee Ticket?

This ticket is listed as 1915 (was listed with other items from 1915). If it is from 1915, game 71 was scheduled for 09/25 against the Cleveland Indians. Game 2 was a makeup game.

1915 seems reasonable, but at this point, from what I know, it could be from 1915 to 1919.
- Jacob Ruppert purchased the franchise in January 1915
- Cost of ticket $0.75 and no war tax, so must be from before 1920
- Printer: Ansell Ticket Co.

Would love to see other Yankee Polo Grounds tickets.

Default 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.
