I also recently received this 1939 Dodgers ticket for a game that was the first game a color fast yellow dye was used. MLB had a few games in 1938-39 that used a yellow baseball to see if it was safer for players to play with and easier for fans to see. In the first game a yellow ball was used the Dodgers pitcher Fitzsimmons had the yellow dye all over on his shirt where he wiped his hands.
