This is not as near a miss as the others, but I wanted to include this one.

I showed the program for "Mickey Mantle's last game" at Fenway Park, which was actually the Yankees last game of 1968, but Mantle did not play. In fact, according to "The Last Boy", he wasn't even in the ball park that day.

So it is ironic that this faux "Ted Williams last game" item would be for Boston's last game of the 1960 season at Yankee Stadium. A game in which Williams did not play, and was not even at the stadium.




I happen to like Opening Day and last game of the year tickets. Of course, I know I would not have been able to buy this for a few dollars if it really was Williams' last game.
