I did not know this at all, but the NYY player who made his debut in this game, SS Joe Buzas, was quite the entrepreneur!
From baseball-reference.com: Joe Buzas owned 82 minor league teams at some point in a 47-year period. At the time of his death he owned the Salt Lake Stingers. The opening day shortstop for the New York Yankees in 1945, he badly injured his shoulder, ending his playing career. The first team he owned was the Syracuse Chiefs. In 1978 he paid $1 for the debt-ridden Reading Phillies and in 1986 sold the team for $1 million. Buzas was known for turning a profit when times were poor financially in the minors. Also for NYY fans, the winner of this game, Atley Donald, spent all 8 of his years in MLB with the Yankees. He won 65 games, and this was his final year in the bigs.

Any added info on the value or origin of the postcard, and the value of the ticket would be great!

Wecome to net54! I'm a vintage ticket guy. I looked carefully at condition, potential noteworthy events and attendance to give you a estimate of value. Comments: O/D 1945 was obviously wartime and the majority of all good players were fulfilling their military hitches. As such, neither the Yankees or the Red Sox fielded a team with any much collecting interest. Approximately 14,000 were in attendance which was a decent size crowd for 1945, thus this ticket is not supremely rare. Condition of the ticket would be G-VG at best based on your scan. Potential value = $25-$40 probably best case scenario. The only collector that would care about this ticket would be a Red Sox die hard fan or an Opening Day ticket collector. I hope this helps! ![]() |

If youre looking to sell, your best bet will be to pick up the program on the cheap and couple it.
