Jimmy, thanks for starting this thread. Famous plays and tickets for those games are now a primary focus in my collecting. I know I'll never get a 7/4/39 Gehrig ticket or a "shot heard round the world" ticket, but there are so many other great events that are readily available.
Here are a couple of signed magazines representing famous plays. I don't have the tickets for these yet, but they're on the to get list.

Mike,
I
wish that I owned the Vander Meer 2nd no-hitter game ball, but I do not. It was in the collection of baseball collector/ composer Seth Swirsky until a few months ago, but was sold in the Heritage Seth Swirsky Auction. It sold for over $10K, BTW.
I have known about the ball for several years, and have hung on to the photos of it that were on Swirsky's website. For my collection this would definitely be a "Holy Grail" piece, but I coudn't afford it when it came up for sale. You never know though, I may attempt to own it at some point in my life if I'm given another shot at it...
