Nice one, Paul! There certainly must be a lot of gratification to finding a ticket with the massive significance of "Ol' Cy's" last win.
This certainly is the most unattainable baseball record...
Also, while we're on the Cy Young theme, here is my ticket to Cy's 1st attempt at his 500th win (July 10th, 1910). Cy was the 1st and last pitcher to ever attempt to win 500 games...
Additionally, here is a ticket that I also own to Cy Young Day on August 13, 1908 in Boston. Cy pitched a few innings in this game which celebrated his storied amazing career up until this point.
