On the field, Grover Cleveland Alexander gets a three-run homer by Sunny Jim Bottomley to defeat the Giants 6-4 before the capacity crowd.

Just noticed how this ticket says, in large bold letters, FIRST ROW. I can just imagine the lucky person with this ticket walking with a George Jefferson swagger as he walks down the aisle down to the front row.

Incidentally, June 18, 1927 was also the day the Post Office Department issued an air mail stamp commemorating Lindbergh's achievement. St. Louis was where the stamp was issued, and it's safe to presume "Lucky Lindy" also played a role in the dedication ceremonies.

Gary,
That's a cool post!
Is this the same stamp that was produced with the extremely rare upside down plane error?

No... you're thinking of the "Inverted Jenny," which was issued in 1918...

Coincidently, though, Lindbergh's first airplane was a war-surplus Curtiss Jenny.

Ah, yes! Thanks for setting me straight.

Thanks also, David for providing the add'nl detail. I thought the plane looked familiar.
