I thought this would be a great way to refresh this fantastic Red Sox thread...

Here is a scan of a rare ticket stub to the historic 1912 World Series game 8 deciding game which won the series for the Boston Red Sox, their 1st at Fenway Park, 100 years ago.

The starting pitchers in this game featured the Red Sox Smoky Joe Wood (34 wins in the regular season + 3 in the World Series in 1912) vs. the Giants' HOF'er Christy Mathewson. Smoky Joe and the Red Sox win game 8 with a final score of 3-2. The Sox win the series 4 games to 3 (one game was called because of darkness in a tie).

The lucky patron noted the final score and the teams on the verso of the ticket stub.

Enjoy!
