After admiring his 1941 Lou Gehrig Memorial game ticket (It's been on my want list for a real long time), Ben (Forever Young) found one for me on EBAY that fit my criteria and wallet. He also gave me great info on how much one in this condition should go for (Info was perfect).
I'd say this one is in GD to VG condition with no tears and a little staining. It should present well with a nice Gehrig signature. Thanks again Ben for finding this for me!

Mike,
Nice pickup and this has always been one of my favorites as well! FYI- Alot of people don't know this, but this game was never played on July 4th, 1941. I think that perhaps weather prevented it from happening on the day it was originally scheduled. The game and speech actually occured the next day on July 5th. The Yankees beat the Philadelphia A's 10-5 behind lots of Bronx Bomber offense, great pitching by Red Ruffing and let's face it, a ton of inspiration from The Iron Horse. |

July 4th 1941 was a double header played between the Senators and Yanks. The ceremonies for Gehrig were held between games.
Dutch Leonard beat the Yanks 3-2 in the opener. Pete Sundra was the winner for the Yanks in the night cap 11-1. http://www.baseball-reference.com/te...e-scores.shtml Mike, We are both lucky. I was going to bid on that until I found something else I wanted more. I would've cost one of us more money. Great ticket. Looks a lot better than the scan the guy had in the auction. Mark

Mark,
Hmm... FYI- I primarily use a different source of reference for game logs. I use Retrosheet.org. I go to games tab, and then teams (in this case Yankees), and then individual game logs. Retrosheet shows no game played on 7/4/41. On 7/5/41 the Yankees played the A's (one game only, no double header). I wonder why the difference between the two sources? It's my understanding that Retrosheet uses actual official scorekeeper info for many games. |
