Walter Johnson Memorial Dedication ticket stub
I just picked up a scarce ticket stub to the Dedication of the Walter Johnson Memorial at Washington in 1947.
The ticket is dated June 21, 1947 for a game between the St. Louis Browns and Washington Senators played at Griffith Stadium.
Along with the teams and score written in vintage ink on the back, it is also written that it was the date of the dedication of the Walter Johnson memorial - a tribute to the Senators Hall of Fame pitcher who died the previous year. In addition, it states that President Harry Truman attended the game.
The Nats won the game 5-4.
