Help - MY list of most iconic moments in baseball history
Looking to build an iconic ticket collection of the greatest moments in baseball history... over the past few weeks I have built the following list. Take a look and let me know if you think I need to add anything, or delete anything.
Thanks! 1919 World Series Game 1 - Cicotte Hits First Batter 1932 World Series Game 3 Ticket Stub, Babe Ruth Called Shot 1933 All Star Game 1 Ticket Stub - First All Star Game 1939 Lou Gehrig, Luckiest Man Speech 1941 Yankees vs. Cleveland - Joltin Joe hits 56! 1945 World Series Game 4 - Billy Goat Curse Game 1947 Dodgers vs. Braves - Jackie Robinson breaks the major league color barrier 1951 Giants vs. Dodgers - Shot Heard Around the World 1954 World Series Game 1 - Mays makes the Catch 1956 World Series Game 5 Ticket Stub Don Larsen Perfect Game 1960 World Series Game 7 - Maz walks off 1961 Yankees vs. Red Sox - Maris hits #61 1974 Braves vs. Dodges - HR #715 - Hank passes the Babe 1975 World Series Game 6 - Carlton Fisk Waves it Fair 1977 World Series Game 6 - Reggie becomes Mr. October 1985 Reds vs. Padres - Pete Rose hits 4192 1986 World Series Game 6 - Mookie Hits it Through Buckner 1988 World Series Game 1 - Kirk Gibson Walk Off 1989 World Series Game 3 - Earthquake rocks the World Series 1991 World Series Game 7 - Jack Morris 10 Shutout innings 1993 World Series Game 6 - Touch 'em all Joe! 1995 Orioles vs. Angels - Cal Breaks Lou's Streak 2131 1998 Cardinals vs. Cubs - Big Mac hits 62 Also, if you have any of these... hit me up... Need all of them except the 1932 Babe Calls his Shot and 1954 - Mays Makes the Catch |
That's a good list. Here are some other possible events:
1941 Gehrig Memorial ticket 1946 World Series Slaughter's dash home. 1947 World Series Gionfriddo's catch to rob Dimaggio 1941 World series - Mickey Owen's dropped 3rd strike 1961 World series - Ford breaks Ruth's scoreless innings in a World Series 1955 Game 7 Brooklyn wins only series. 1955 Game 1 Robinson steals home. 1960 last game of season Ted Williams homers in last at bat of career. |
Great list! Maybe Gehrig takes over for Wally Pipp?

How about Rick Monday rescuing the flag from those scumbags at Dodger Stadium April 25, 1976?

Maybe this doesn’t fit into what you are wanting to collect but maybe you could consider adding some perfect games to your list. There are not many of them or you could even consolidate it down to just the HOFers pitchers who threw perfect games.

Nolan Ryan's 7th no-hitter and same day Rickey Breaking Lou Brock's record. Two tickets, but kinda fun together. 5/1/91. Ryan was the oldest to throw a no-hitter at 44 and it might have been his best with 16k's and only 2 walks. Oh yeah, and it was on three days rest.

lest we forget the pre-war icons
the pre-war collector also "remembers" things like:
1905 Matty wins series pitching three shutouts 1908 the Merkle boner 1912 Snodgrass's muff 1914 Last to first place Miracle Braves sweep A's in series 1917 Toney and Vaughan pitch no-hitters in same game 1920 Ruth sold to Yankees 1920 Wambsganns unassisted triple play in world series 1924 walter Johnson/ Senators win series game 7 in extra innings on "pebble bounce" past Lindstrom 1927 Ruth hits 60 homers and Yankees sweep Pirates in series 1934 Hubbell strikes out Ruth Gehrig Foxx Simmons and Cronin in all-star game |

How about 10 cent beer night, Disco Demolition night, and, because I'm a Clevelander, Albert Belle pointing to his bicep?

Wasn't there a bat day that went wrong too? |
How can a NorCal guy want Mac #62 but ignore Bonds?

two more legendary events
1926 Hungover, GC Alexander strikes out Lazzeri with bases loaded and closes out game to win the world series
1930 Josh Gibson hits the longest homerun (600 ft!) in Yankee Stadium's history |
Cool list.
I'm biased for sure, but I think the 1969 Miracle Mets fit. |
Best one I was at, can't say it falls into the historic category, but it does in the hilarious category.
Randy Myers Poster Day Giveaway at Wrigley Field 10,000 Posters of Randy Myers were the giveaway item for the day, back in 1993, when the Cubs weren't exactly....well, good. So gets to the 9th, Cubs up 2-0, and in comes Randy Myers to close it out. Well base hit, walk, base hit, walk, base hit, need to say he blew the save and they tied it 2-2, out came Myers. Onto the field rained 10,000 Posters. So much for Randy Myers Day. Google it, true story, and those posters have to be pretty rare as I can't imagine many were not thrown back onto the field. Best giveaway day ever!!!! Back when Cubs fans were Cubs fans, not all suits and ties. |
