Good thread. I can contribute this ticket. I love the fact that it is from the 1931 Homestead Grays team- thought to be the best Negro League team ever. And thanks to N54er, JerseyGary who posted the game info below I was able to know what happened in the game. ( I also picked up Dixon's book about that Grays season. Thanks again!)
On July 30th, 1931 in Crucible, PA, the Grays won their 17th consecutive game crushing Crucible 12-2. Oscar Charleston hit a double, triple and a homer. Josh Gibson and Tubby Scales also had 3 hits apiece and every man in the lineup that day hit safely at least once. Lefty Williams was the winning pitcher, giving up 8 hits and striking out 5 of the locals and the Grays had 16 hits.
