1924 saints vs orioles
Years ago when my dad died I had the responsibility of going through some of his things. In this process I found several ticket stubs to the old Lexington ball park (St. Paul). They were dated 1923 and 1924. One of the stubs had printed on it "game 9". I couldn't figure out what game that could have been. Recently I read a SABR article dealing with the 1924 Little World Series between the St Paul Saints and the Baltimore Orioles (Won by the Saints in 10 games) It was only then did I realize I had a ticket stub from game 9 of that series. Guess who my dad saw pitching for the Orioles that day - Lefty Grove.
