Help with Some old Ticket Stubs: Red Sox, Cardinals, Tigers

[rhettyeakley]

I have had the following ticket stubs for a number of years and obviously the lack of dating on front makes it unlikely to date them definitively (the Red Sox tickets might be w/ some help) but it may be fun to try. Anybody able to narrow down the dates at all beyond the obvious? The tickets came from different sources over the years.

Robert Quinn was owner of Red Sox from 1923-1933

Cardinals were done with Robison Field in 1920, it was called League Park until new Owner Helene Britton renamed it Robison Field in 1911. So probably some time between 1911 and 1920.

Navin died in 1935 but the seat price on the ticket indicates a date somewhere closer to 1910-20's?

Hi Rhett,
The only ticket out of this group that I might be able to provide some help with is the green Red Sox bleacher ticket that has a score of 5-4 Red Sox win written on the back.
Through research and process of elimination, there are only 3 games at Fenway that produced a Red Sox winning score of 5-4 vs. the Detroit Tigers.
These games are:

5/16/28 (11 innings)- Pitchers were Harriss vs. Sorrell 5-4 Boston win
6/24/30 (Game 1 of a D/H)- Pitchers Lisenbee vs. Uhle 5-4 Boston win
7/29/31 (10 innings)- Pitchers Moore vs. Uhle 5-4 Boston win

None of these games had anything particularly outstanding offensively happen.
It's hard to nail the specific game down further, but I am guessing that judging by the font and ticket price that the ticket was to the 6/24/30 game or the 7/29/31 game.

I hope this helps

based on Scott's research of the ticket that has a score 5-4
the 1928 Tax revenue went into affect June 21st 1928 the game was played prior to that date so tax was allowed
in 1929-1930 1931 1932 that law prevented tickets under $1.00 being charged, therefore as this ticket has tax added and date earlier than June 21
I think 1928 would be most likley for that ticket
the others will need more research
