Great tix, guys!
I would like to help your help in understanding how these old stubs can be pinned down to a year using MVSNYC's undated Polo Grounds ticket for the 27th home game of the season.
In 1919, the 27th home game was played on June 29th (a 5-3 loss to the Red Sox). A doubleheader was played on June 28th, but presumably the game number on MVS's stub would have reflected that. However, I have a similar stub for game #31...which in 1919 would have been the second game of a doubleheader played on July 4th...so I think we can eliminate 1919 if we assume the club didn't sell tickets to the two games separately.
In 1920, the 27th home game would have been the second game of a doubleheader on June 2nd...so I would think we can eliminate 1920.
In 1921, the 27th home game was played on June 15th (a 7-2 loss to the White Sox). The 31st home game was a single game played on June 24th, so 1921 is a possibility.
In 1922, the 27th home game was played on May 23rd (an 11-3 loss to the Browns). The 31st game was the front half of a doubleheader played on May 30; that would seem to make 1922 also a possibility.
So it would seem that this stub dates to 1921 or 1922.
Am I correct to assume that the Yankees would not have printed separate tickets for the second games of doubleheaders?
