The 1949 Phillies doubleheader miracle sweep.

[Lucas00]

I love to write out these long story style posts describing the events and details of historical Items I purchase. I had the opportunity of buying the Program, ticket and a snapshot from game one of a doubleheader held in Philadelphia on September 4th 1949. (not sure if game 2 had a different program/ticket).

Instead of writing out the events myself, they are already written in a fantastic article that I couldn't put any better myself. Please read the insanity that happened sept 4th 1949 in Philadelphia, here-

The snapshot is of the game 1 walkoff.

If you can't decide or don't want to read about it read this and it might sway you-

No other National, American, or Federal League team between 1901 and the end of the 2020 season won both ends of a doubleheader when its starting pitchers combined to record no more than one out.


Also a bonus, the last page of the scorecard is an ad for the full 1949 Eureka stamp set! Full set with the album for a buck!
