Willie Mays PLAYS SS and goes 1 for 10 ticket stub
 

This is such a great ticket stub.

May 31,1964 San Francisco Giants at New York Mets - Doubleheader

What would be the longest doubleheader in the history of baseball and still is as of today. 9 hours and 52 minutes of baseball!!!!!


Game 1 Giants win 5-3 in 2 hours 29 mins
Game 2 Giants win 8-6 in 23 innings 7 hours 23 mins


In the 10th inning Mays goes to shortstop. He would play SS only twice in his 23 years in baseball.

Mets complete a triple play in the top of the 14th to get out of a jam.

Gaylord Perry enters the game in the 13th inning and pitches 10 innings in RELIEF to get the Win.

Mays went 1 for 10, I have to assume that was his worst hitting performance of his big league career. Mays entered this game with a .382 BA.

The whole game is a great read here:

There is some writing on the top of the ticket, which adds character:

"Giants-2.....2nd 23 inn"
