As a Matty fan, I'm really excited to have just picked this up. Three days after Christy Mathewson pitched his last game of the season for the Giants in 1900, his Bucknell football team played Wyoming Seminary.

Thought you guys would like to see this. Just got this off of ebay. Wasn't listed very well. It is Larry Doby's first ever HR.
Came also with an amazing scorecard. That has all kinds of notations and pictures. Feel free to message me if you ever have any Indians rare feats or debuts. Thanks Andy |

Not quite the same value as a '47 debut game ticket, but still a cool rookie season example.

Picked up this ticket earlier today. On Oct. 2, 1977 the Dodgers and Astros were playing the last game of the regular season. Dusty Baker hit his 30th HR of the season off J.R. Richard making the Dodgers the first team in history to have four players with 30 or more HR's in a season.
Something with more long-term, pop-culture implications also happened during this game. Glenn Burke was credited with creating the high-five celebration during this game when he gave Dusty Baker a high-five after his record breaking HR. https://thehundreds.com/blogs/conten...ve-glenn-burke https://aeon.co/videos/the-origins-o...ng-gay-pioneer
