Megalimey, what does your research show about dating Ladies Day "L" tickets? I have these tickets and thought they could be 1941, but do not know for sure. The L-4 ticket was taken from a scrapbook of 1941 (J) and 1942 (K) tickets. Written next to the ticket is "Russo v. Detroit". Russo pitched against Detroit on June 20, 1941 and won 14-4. It was a Friday and the fourth home Friday of the season. It was game 33 of DiMaggio streak and DiMaggio had 4 hits.

ladies day ticket were introduced in 1932 and ended in 1942
they are almost impossible to date by year unless there is some thing noted
which could be fabricated however your
1941 J ticket game 29 is a Di Maggio Streak ticket for sure
June 21st

Thanks David, very helpful and great article. Now I know for sure on one of the tickets. I am now 100% sure on the L-4 ticket too since it came from the same scrapbook I got 15 years ago and was the game (June 20) right before this J ticket game 29. There was writing all over the scrapbook in the same hand, so hard to believe the "Russo v. Detroit" was fabricated, but I understand no way to prove. Since I have no intention of slabbing or selling, knowing is good enough for me. BTW - you should add your info about Ladies Day tickets to your PSA article.

I went through the pieces I pulled from the scrapbook I got these tickets from, and discovered this article/box score from this June 20, L-4 ticket, along with a cartoon image of Dimaggio depicting the streak.

Pretty cool to able to make a connection between some pieces I have had for a long time. I probably should have kept the scrapbook together years ago, but didn�t make the connection � you live and learn. I have been asking for years if there was any way to date some of these tickets and David�s article helped with the �J� ticket, and draw some connection to this �L� ticket.

I just got these tickets which are now up on Ebay if anyone is interested, but I wanted to show how the previous owner displayed them.

(Mantle's only game at Shortstop, also Phila. A's 1st and last game of last year in existence.)

I really like what he did, as you hopefully can see in the pix he has the ticket in a plastic holder, then that is placed into inserts on his page with it titled, then shows the season schedule with the game highlighted and also on the back the full box score from the game......just an idea for those who collect tickets and how to display them.
