Hi Guys,

This is my first time posting, although I’ve been a long time lurker. The knowledge and information shared on this forum is amazing.

Here’s a ticket to Babe Ruth’s last appearance at Yankee Stadium, June 13, 1948. It was the day the Yankees retired Babe’s number 3. The event was captured in Nat Fein's Pulitzer Prize winning photo.

Wonderful ticket, Joe! Welcome to active status!

Not vintage but indulge me. A ticket from a significant game that I attended. Game 6, 1995 World Series, Tom Glavine's eight innings of one hit shutout ball brings a world title to Atlanta.

This game was played exactly one week after Gehrig's "Luckiest Man" speech of July 4th, 1939.

The All-Star Game came to the House that Ruth Built for 1939 and honorary captain Lou Gehrig watched the AL win a tightly contested 3-1 game behind a Joe DiMaggio homer.

Thought I’d add one here! I’ve posted this before but this is the ticket from the May 10, 1952 game between the Cleveland Indians and St. Louis Browns. The Tribe lost 6-4 in front of just over 14,000 fans however the game is significant as Quincy Trouppe, former Negro League star would collect his only MLB hit and start his only complete game at catcher going nine innings. Unfortunately Trouppe would be sent to Indianapolis the following day with the game on May 10 being his last in the majors. As a 39 year old rookie he batted .100 in 11 plate appearances over six games. In the eyes of most fans and players that day it was a routine game but to Trouppe the culmination of a career.

Nice tickets. I am a little distraught however to see so many in PSA plastic slabs. Surprised you fellas haven't already gotten a scolding from the memorabilia police for not upholding your sacred duty to properly preserve the hobbys history as per recommendations of the Baseball Hall of Fame.

1910 Pittsburgh Stub...c.1919-1922 Yankees Stub...1962 Mets Stub

Great tix, guys!

I would like to help your help in understanding how these old stubs can be pinned down to a year using MVSNYC's undated Polo Grounds ticket for the 27th home game of the season.

In 1919, the 27th home game was played on June 29th (a 5-3 loss to the Red Sox). A doubleheader was played on June 28th, but presumably the game number on MVS's stub would have reflected that. However, I have a similar stub for game #31...which in 1919 would have been the second game of a doubleheader played on July 4th...so I think we can eliminate 1919 if we assume the club didn't sell tickets to the two games separately.

In 1920, the 27th home game would have been the second game of a doubleheader on June 2nd...so I would think we can eliminate 1920.

In 1921, the 27th home game was played on June 15th (a 7-2 loss to the White Sox). The 31st home game was a single game played on June 24th, so 1921 is a possibility.

In 1922, the 27th home game was played on May 23rd (an 11-3 loss to the Browns). The 31st game was the front half of a doubleheader played on May 30; that would seem to make 1922 also a possibility.

So it would seem that this stub dates to 1921 or 1922.

Am I correct to assume that the Yankees would not have printed separate tickets for the second games of doubleheaders?

[thekingofclout]

This is suppose to be a very significant ticket. Can the Great Poobah be of help?

Oldtix- thanks for your input regarding my yankees stub...very interesting research (what website did you find this out?)...i am, however, a bit unclear why the doubleheader the day before the 27th game, eliminates it from being a 1919 stub, same goes for 1920...can you further elaborate? what am i missing?

thx!

Baseballreference.com is the particular website I used for this...they list every game of a given season in sequential order.

The info about the prior day's DH in 1919 really didn't have anything to do with the conclusion...it probably should have been edited out. Whether the Yankees printed separate tickets for game 25 and game 26 (the DH games) wouldn't change the need to print one for game 27. The point of my question...and the basis for my conclusion that 1920 was eliminated...was that a club would NOT have printed a second game ticket.

Before night games started in 1935, I don't think fans attending doubleheaders were required to leave the stadium after the first game. Without that requirement, there's no way to know which fans only purchased a game one ticket in order to evict them before game two. I think that a fan wishing to attend the second game (only) would have been sold the "game one" ticket at the ticket office, saving the club printing costs. If that logic is correct, there would be no printed "game two" tickets for pre-1935 doubleheaders (later twi-nights were handled differently, of course). Did fans pay double price for doubleheaders? I don't know.

We should be able to eliminate any year in which either game 27 was the back-half of a doubleheader...and that was the case in 1920. If the teams did print separate tickets for game two, my theory is all wet.

And now: "Upon further review..."



I was relying on my computerized inventory of my own Yankees Polo Grounds ticket. Lo and behold, I pulled it out and it's for game 34, not 31...oops. That puts 1919 back into play as a possibility for your ticket. My ticket could be 1919, 1920, 1921 or 1922...all single games. Damn...the Babe didn't go yard in any of them!

Can't read the fine print, Jimmy... email me a scan if you can.

[MVSNYC]

i'm getting it now...thanks!

also, what's interesting, both of our tickets have a "war tax"...the war was from 1914-1918, but obviously our tickets are both post-1918 (based on the mention of a december 1918 ordinance)...so why the war tax after the war?

On June 13 1948, I was 17 years old and sitting in the right field bleachers.
A sad day indeed, his voice was gravelly, and hard to understand.
When he started to speak, you could almost hear a pin drop in the packed stadium.
The cancer in his throat, was taking it's toll, and we were there not just to pay our respect, but to thank him for building the house that Ruth built.

Welcome aboard Jersey Joe.
