Ticket Stubs - 1908 Braves, 1910 Red Sox, '09 Cobb 2 hits, '27 Gehrig/Ruth - eBay 8/8

Thanks Doug - great question. I own a bunch of season ticket booklets from the era. My understanding is each one would end up being applied to the next home game.

Say for example, the opening homestand of the season was April 1, 2 and 3. If they played on April 1, then the April 2 game was rained out until June, ticket #2 would be used for the April 3 game, and the re-scheduled game in June would use whatever ticket was in order at that time. So it would catch up over the season, but might not align with the original plan.

For us 100+ years later, I'm guessing we only have the ability to view it in retrospect, and count the home games and align the home game number to a schedule of final game results.

Some of these stubs mention specific dates, like this 1913 Red Sox one I have. This obviously makes it much easier to determine - I just wish all of the booklets did this at the time!
