Was happy to finally find this one. Phils CF Richie Ashburn was well known for being able to foul off pitches at will. In this game he fouled one off hitting a woman in the face and stopping play. After they got the woman on the stretcher and play resumed, Ashburn fouled the next pitch off and hit the same woman in the knee as she was being carted off!

I'm late to this thread, as I am not a ticket collector. However, among other things, I collect Paul Blair trading cards. Recently, a ticket purportedly from Game 3 of the 1966 World Series was listed on eBay. That is the game that the Orioles won 1-0 on the back of a Blair homerun. I thought it would be a nice addition to my collection. But, I have no expertise in determining if it is real or not. Are there any good resources to help me?

There's actually a ton of them on ebay right now...and with a quick look they all look correct. I don't believe game 3 is a particularly sought after ticket, and the prices on them reflect that. I'd find the best looking one that fits in your budget.

When it comes to collecting, I probably only have 2 white whales left. One I probably don't want to spend what it would cost, and the other I had never seen before. Well, leave it to our own Scott Garner to remember a communication we had several months ago. When Scott found this in his own collection, he graciously allowed me to purchase it from him. So, may I present you a ticket from the Sept 9, 1969 game between the Cubs and the Mets. Tom Seaver won his 20th, but more importantly in baseball lore, this was the game that's better known as the black cat game. That famous cat strolled past Ron Santo in the on-deck circle and then across the Cubs dugout. Much like the Billy-Goat game many years previous, it was felt by many that this moment marked the end for the Cubs. Whether it did or didn't, it still a fun part of baseball history, and now I can finally go about finishing up my 1969 Cubs project. Thanks again to Scott, a true friend and great collector.

Hey Mike,
I'm glad your Black Cat game ticket arrived safely & definitely happy to help a great hobby friend find one of his personal "white whales". :

Cool story and ticket. Way to go Scott for helping out a fellow collector. What is your other white whale ticket if you don’t mind sharing?
