Not the prettiest girl at the dance, but she sure is special

Stumbled upon this. Seriously. Not even kidding. Bought a St Louis Browns Program/Scorecard, no mention of ticket, it arrived in the mail, to my surprise there was a ticket taped on the back cover.

Ticket is from August 29, 1951, NY Yankees at St Louis Browns

https://www.baseball-reference.com/b...95108290.shtml

Significance:

Mickey Mantle's only career Home Run off........Satchel Paige!

The kid (age 19) hits a 3 run shot (450 ft.) off the old master (age 45) with 2 outs in the 9th inning.

So many unique things about this:

Mantle's 2nd HR wearing #7
His 9th career HR
His 1st HR off a future HOFer
His 1st HR off a former Negro Leaguer
His one & only HR off the legendary Satchel Paige

Last, there are no tickets from the game (8/25/51 NY@Clev.) he hits his first HR wearing #7 graded by PSA, and none from this game (8/29/51 NY@St.L) graded by PSA so this "could be" the earliest Mantle #7 HR ticket in existence.....

.....that was sitting for 70 years taped to the back of scorecard.
