When you say "I know of only two of these" you're referring to the full, untorn ticket (as opposed to a stub), correct? Either way, it's still an awesome piece.

Gary,
Correct! The full, unused ticket. A fair amount of the stubs to his debut game are out there. I suspect that I have seen at least 15 of these...

For those of you that didn't get Randall's inside joke:
I own the Cheney 21 K ticket because of an unselfish trade that the two of us made several years ago that cemented what has become a great friendship. Thanks again, Randall for filling this hole in my collection.

Last Night I pulled out some stuff out of storage and saw a box that had some scrapbooks from the late 30's early 40's. They were from a Red Sox fan living in NYC. I know this because all the ticket stubs are from Yankee game and almost all the box scores are Red Sox. Taking a suggestion from a board member I am trying to get some stubs from Home run games from 500 HR club members to go on my display. So I start reading and find an early Williams and a nice Foxx stub. Then I get to this page....Joe Dimaggio ties Willie Keeler for consecutive hit streak. Field box stub so has date!! Streak stubs are rare and I have never seen this one before my new favorite stub... and my old favorite an 1885 Providence stub from their last year in the National League.

Randy is one of the hobby's good guys.

Here is one of my favorites - Babe Ruth's three home runs in Game 4 of the 1928 Series. As a Cardinal collector, it's ironic to have a favorite item depicting a Yankee sweep, but I have plenty of tickets with better outcomes for the Redbirds. I collected cards as a kid but I caught the ticket collecting bug when I worked as a ticket taker at Busch Stadium in the 70's. One day I was working next to one of the old timers and things were a little slow - the Cardinals did not draw nearly as well then as they do now - and I mentioned collecting tickets. Astonishingly, the guy reaches into his wallet and gives me a stub from the '46 World Series. He said he always carried it around but thought I would appreciate it more. I still can't believe it.

I have at least one ticket from each Cardinal World Series and a stub from each St. Louis All Star game, but a full ticket from Stan the Man's final game is my personal favorite. Would love to find a stub from his first game.

Beautiful Ruth 3 HR World Series ticket! It's really odd that in Ruths career he hit 3 HRs in a game 4 times total. Twice it happened in the World Series and the last time was when he hit his last 3 HRs of his career.

RTK- if you have your stub from the game it is actually a record. Most strikeouts over two consecutive starts 33.

Richard-Thanks for the kind words .
