Here is my ticket stub from the first game I attended, August 27, 1965 at Shea Stadium in New York. The San Francisco Giants defeated the N. Y. Mets by a 9 to 2 score.
The Mets offence consisted of a 2 run home run by Charley Smith.
The Giants put on a show, hitting 5 homers! Willie Mays hit his 40th of the year, career number 493 tying him for 5th place on the all time list with Lou Gerhig. Willie McCovey hit 2 homers and Jim Ray Hart and Len Garielson added one each.
The winning pitcher? Warren Spahn, his next to last win, #362 of his career.
Quite a game for an 8 year old!
