That season his 18-1 record set the still-standing major league record for winning percentage (.947). His 18 wins that year also set the single-season wins in relief record.

Very nice ticket Mike, Elroy was the all-time N.L career save leader from 1962 to 1982 when Bruce Sutter passed him, Elroy ended his career With the brand new Montreal Expos in 1969 with 193 career saves, here is the ticket to his last career save #193

Beautiful ticket Guy. I love the color and graphics on those vintage Expos tickets.

June 25th 1988 ticket between the Orioles & Red Sox is iconic for a couple reasons...

One being it was the game 1,000 in Cal Ripken Jr.'s consecutive game streak.

The other being the day that the infamous photo of Bill Ripken was taken (which appeared in the Fleer set the next year):

Jeremy Giambi, what a tragedy. I met him in Phoenix during spring training he was funny, engaging, and living his best life, such a loss to his family and those that loved him.

Sept 29, 1962 Full Ticket, Warren Spahn defeats the Pirates. The win is the 327th of his career moving past Eddie Planks 326 win total making him the winningest left handed pitcher in baseball history. It’s a position he still holds with 363 career victories.

Very happy to add this historic homer stub, before it climbs higher in value. I vividly remember watching this game in disbelief.
