VINTAGE 1916 - 1917 NEW YORK GIANTS BASEBALL Ticket Stub GAME 37 (LETTER D)

VINTAGE 1916 NEW YORK GIANTS BASEBALL ticket stub

Ticket Stub Home GAME 37 LETTER D

year is BASED on the Letter D which was credited to 1916
the reason being

I have seen NY Giants Home Game tickets with Letter F hand dated with 1917 meaningless game and a Letter E which hand written scores on

attributed to 1917, so I am assuming theis being a Letter D is for 1916
the President is Harry N. Hempstead Harry N. Hempstead

his time as President was 1912 -1918 the add on back was seen on 1916 1917 1918

tickets

I feel very strongly ticket is from 1916

in 1916 Game 37 the 37th scheduled game which co insides

with the Game number printed on ticket which were printed before season began

(including rain outs ) so not the 37th Game played was on July 4th

Giants v Brooklyn Dodgers Game 2 of a Double header where two games were played and a ticket would have been needed for both games Game 37 was the late Game

"19160704","1","Tue","BRO","NL",73,"NY1","NL",74," D","","" 36 scheduled d/h

"19160704","2","Tue","BRO","NL",74,"NY1","NL",75," D","","" 37

see safe link for Box score

in Game 2 Dodgers beat the Giants 6-2

see safe link for Box score

http://www.baseball-reference.com/bo...91607042.shtml


ticket has ceases and wrinkles but no paper loss or pin holes

if any ticket collector dis agrees with my findings I would greatly appreciate

any conclusive info that the Letter D is not 1916

David,

Just a quick FYI, posts like these should be placed over in the memorabilia B/S/T section because it looks like you're trying to sell these tickets which I noted are now on eBay.

Happy holidays!

I'm not a collector but I recently stumbled across a stack of my old stubs. Among them was a ticket from my first big league game.

My dad took me. Browning and Ron Robinson combined to give up two runs. Dave Parker hit a home run and my favorite player, Buddy Bell got a hit.

I haven't saved much but I was really happy to see that this ticket still around.

Phil & David,
Your Giants ticket is certainly from the year 1916.
Here are photos of a 1914 Giants ticket that features the letter "B" and is hand dated August 10, 1914 in vintage ink. It does have the Midland Beach Resort advertising on the verso. I have owned this ticket for over 25 years.
I hope this helps.
Happy New Year!

1889 International Association Detroit Ticket Book
 
1889 Detroit Wolverine Ticket Book (Champions of the International Association)


Obtained this book a couple months ago. One ticket in book and showing one of five loose tickets. I know of at least one more loose ticket (all belonging to this book).

The book was issued to Mr. Howard and is signed by both President Mills and Manager/Secretary Leadley. It is a nice companion piece to several Robert Leadley letters I obtained from Rhys Yeakley dating to this time (the letters chronical an attempt to gain the services of Bob Allen to play for Detroit).

On a side note, the tickets are much smaller than what was issued to the National League Detroit team the year prior.

Just got this back from PSA today. One of my fvorite parts of collecting is the work going into finding old schedules and boxscores and spending hours reviewing them just so you can find a gem like this. Cy Young's last win. #511 Pittsburg, September 22 1911. Only 1200 fans were at this game!

Nice one, Paul! There certainly must be a lot of gratification to finding a ticket with the massive significance of "Ol' Cy's" last win.
This certainly is the most unattainable baseball record...

Also, while we're on the Cy Young theme, here is my ticket to Cy's 1st attempt at his 500th win (July 10th, 1910). Cy was the 1st and last pitcher to ever attempt to win 500 games...
Additionally, here is a ticket that I also own to Cy Young Day on August 13, 1908 in Boston. Cy pitched a few innings in this game which celebrated his storied amazing career up until this point.

I just picked up this Oct. 30, 1960 NY Giants vs STL Cardinals football ticket stub. Looking at the boxscore there is nothing to memorable from this game. The significance of the ticket for me is this was QB Lee Grosscup's NFL Debut.

Mr. Grosscup has lived in my hometown for a long time and lives in my mother-in-law's retirement complex and is someone I have had the pleasure of getting to know a little over the years. Pretty cool when you can get a ticket connected to someone you actually know!

Had a flashback to the 80s and picked up a couple of NFL debut stubs recently:

9/7/80: Billy Sims NFL debut vs Rams (153 yards + 3 TDs)
9/6/81: Lawrence Taylor NFL debut vs Eagles

I also picked up a Marcus Dupree NFL ticket stub (11/11/90 vs NY Giants). Dupree made it to the NFL after being out of football for 5 years after a terrible knee injury sufferd in the USFL. If you haven't seen it, there is a great ESPN 30 for 30 on Dupree called the "The Best That Never Was".

Fballguy 01-07-2018 08:13 PM

Cool ticket stubs relevant to a Ram fan like me. I remember both those games. Sims ran wild on us and the Lions won 40-19. The Rams didn't get their act together until week three in Green Bay when they lambasted the Packers 51-21, the first of six straight wins.

I remember the Dupree game as well. 1990 was a huge disappointment and we lost to the Giants 31-7. I was house sitting and watched the game in Cheer's creator and director Jim Burrows media room. My mother was his personal assistant, so I got cool gigs like that from time to time.

yankeesjetsfan 01-11-2018 09:44 AM

This is one aspect of my collecting that I would love to get into. The problem with tix from the 90's I have found is that a lot of times the ink printed on the tickets either fade or are rubbed off. I wonder if tix from the 80's face this problem.

Here's a sad example of a ticket whose ink has faded over time. This stub from the June 4, 2000 New York Mets v. the Tampa Bay Devil Rays game at Shea Stadium was sold at an "ETM" ticket kiosk in the Roosevelt Field Mall, Garden City, New York. It's particularly sad because ETM ticket kiosks didn't last very long, so stubs from those machines are, I'd guess, particularly rare.

As faint as the printing is, it's much more legible on this enhanced scan (made July 18, 2012) than on the actual ticket.

My primary ticket focus is the 1971 Pirates. However, I occasionally grow impatient waiting for stubs I don't have and find myself dabbling with the 1960 Pirates.

Here are subs to Opening Day stub, a 1960 Pirates Season Pass, and a Game 7 1960 Series stub. I am considering framing these with the accompanying 8X10 Type I photo of the ensuing on field pandemonium following Maz's historic walk off.

I haven't seen other copies of this photo. I think it's an interesting picture in that it effectively tells the story. There is Maz in the center of the scrum at home plate, a prematurely bald Danny Murtaugh celebrating can be seen celebrating, the umpire is sprinting from the melee followed by closely by Stengel who is leading the crestfallen Yankees to the clubhouse. Most poignant of all is the parting of the crowd for a dejected Ralph Terry walking off the field with his head down.

Picked up this ticket stub today. It is from the major league debut of Masanori Murasaki, the first Japanese born player to appear in a major league game. He pitched an inning in relief for the SF Giants in a loss to the NY Mets on 9/1/64. He would finish out the '64 season with the Giants and appear in 45 games the next season before returning to Japan for the remainder of his career. It would be another 30 years before a player from Japan played in the major leagues again when Hideo Nomo pitched for the Dodgers.

No. The machine was located in the mall itself. It was on the main level, near the entrance to JC Penney.

I don't think the Mets Clubhouse Store was there at the time. It's not there now.

I haven't been to Roosevelt Field in years, so when I went there last week to meet Todd Frazier at the Steiner Sports store, I was surprised by how much the mall had changed.

Here are 3 stubs I really like that I have picked up recently:

1.) On July 21, 1959 integration in baseball was complete. Pumpsie Green had become the first black player to appear in a game for the Boston Red Sox when he pinch ran in the 8th inning of a game against the White Sox. The Red Sox had the dubious distinction of being the last team to integrate, some 12+ years after Jackie Robinson first appeared. Included is a sketch that appeared in the Boston Herald during spring training.

https://www.history.com/this-day-in-...ay-for-red-sox

Attachment 310263

Attachment 310264

2.) On September 16, 1956 Bobby Balcena, of the Cincinnati Redlegs, pinch hit in a game against the Brooklyn Dodgers. This was Balcena's MLB Debut. He would appear in 7 games total that season and never make it back to the majors. What makes this footnote in baseball history special is Balcena was the first player of Asian descent to appear in a major league game. His parents immigrated from the Phillipines and he was raised in Southern California. It would be another 8 years before Masanori Murakami of Japan, the first Asian born player, would play for the SF Giants.

http://filipinostarnews.net/sports/f...-baseball.html

Attachment 310267
Attachment 310270

3.) On August 22, 1965 the Dodgers and Giants were in another heated pennant race. On this day Juan Marichal and John Roseboro would engage in one of the most infamous brawls in baseball history. Juan Marichal struck Roseboro on the head with his bat after the two had become involved in an argument. One thing I had never really noticed after looking at the pictures was Tito Fuentes also was wielding a bat although he didn't use it. He got to stay in the game for his efforts. After order had been restored Willie Mays hit a 3-run HR off Sandy Koufax and the Giants went on to win the game.

Exceedingly cool tickets, Dewey, especially the infamous Marichal- Roseboro incident. As I've intimated to you via e-mail, I've never personally seen another ticket stub to this game in spite of the paid attendance.
Congrats! :cool:

Yeah, I'm always looking for that one!

Wrong sport but a ticket just the same. Was happy to pick up the missing piece in my run of L.A. Times Charity Game tickets. I now have every ticket from the first game in 1945 through 1976. I believe the game continued on past 1976 but the tickets became very ordinary at that point. I was drawn to the cool graphics on these tickets (not so much on the first few years compared to later ones) and have been collecting for about 10 years.
