June 18, 1927, and the St. Louis Cardinals pay tribute to the 1926 World Series by raising a huge championship flag at Sportsman's Park. Special guest for the ceremonies was the hometown boy who had flown "The Spirit of St. Louis" alone to Paris less than a month earlier...Charles Lindbergh. On the field, Grover Cleveland Alexander gets a three-run homer by Sunny Jim Bottomley to defeat the Giants 6-4 before the capacity crowd.



In this game, played July 10, 1935, Babe Herman of the Reds hit the first home run in a night game in major league history. This was the fourth night game in MLB history, and the first night game for the visiting Brooklyn Dodgers.



Bob Gibson gets his first major league win AND his first two strikeouts in a 1-0 shutout of the Reds at Crosley Field.



Don Denkinger makes the call that ensured he would never again pay for a drink in Kansas City - my ticket for Game 6 of the 1985 Series.

A single page from the New York Evening Post newspaper dated June 14, 1923 proves without question, that this is the first ever photo of Lou Gehrig in pinstripes! The large photo of Lou Gehrig states that Lou "NOW WEARS A YANKEE UNIFORM."

And Gehrig went on to make his Major League Debut on the very next day, June 15.

Default Matty's 1st no-hitter

Here is the only known season pass/ticket to NY Giants' Christy Mathewson's 1st no-hitter on July 15, 1901. Matty no-hits the St. Louis Cardinals 5-0. Only 5,000 patrons attended the game, witnessing what marked only the beginning of Mathewson's great HOF career.

The pass is issued to Bryan Snyder, which arranged train transportation for the Cardinals baseball team.

The pass is signed by Frank deHass Robison that was the team owner of the Cardinals and the Cleveland Spiders. League Field in St. Louis was also named Robison Field in his honor.

Actually first of three. Here's number two. I'm still trying to find number three from August 22, 1976. My website below tells the whole story.

Default 1949 NIT Basketball Tournament Point Shaving Game

Thought I'd share an interesting recent find. I picked up this Spalding Basketball scorebook recently. It has several college games from the NY area as well as a few Pro games. This book was apparently the official book used for those games. The Pro games were at Madison Square Garden and included the NY Knicks, Washington Caps, Rochester Royals and Minneapolis Lakers (with George Mikan). However, it also included some of the games from the 1949 NIT games at the Garden. The really interesting game, as it turns out, is the game between Kentucky and Loyola of Chicago. This is the game that Alex Groza, Ralph Beard and Dale Barnstable fixed with some bookies to shave points. Kentucky went on to lose this game and finished the season 29-2. Two years later when it came to light, Beard and Groza were arrested and also banned for life from the NBA, thus ending the careers of two of the greatest players of their era. Anyway, I thought it was pretty neat that this was the official scorebook that captured that infamous game.

Default 1912 World Series game 8 ticket stub- First World Series Championship at Fenway Park!

Here is a scan of a rare ticket stub to the historic 1912 World Series game 8 deciding game which won the series for the Boston Red Sox, their 1st at Fenway Park, 100 years ago.

The starting pitchers in this game featured the Red Sox Smoky Joe Wood (34 wins in the regular season + 3 in the World Series in 1912) vs. the Giants' HOF'er Christy Mathewson. Smoky Joe and the Red Sox win game 8 with a final score of 3-2. The Sox win the series 4 games to 3 (one game was called because of darkness in a tie).

The lucky patron noted the final score and the teams on the verso of the ticket stub.

Enjoy!

Just noticed how this ticket says, in large bold letters, FIRST ROW. I can just imagine the lucky person with this ticket walking with a George Jefferson swagger as he walks down the aisle down to the front row.

Incidentally, June 18, 1927 was also the day the Post Office Department issued an air mail stamp commemorating Lindbergh's achievement. St. Louis was where the stamp was issued, and it's safe to presume "Lucky Lindy" also played a role in the dedication ceremonies.

Gary,
That's a cool post!
Is this the same stamp that was produced with the extremely rare upside down plane error?

No... you're thinking of the "Inverted Jenny," which was issued in 1918...

Coincidently, though, Lindbergh's first airplane was a war-surplus Curtiss Jenny.

Ah, yes! Thanks for setting me straight.

Thanks also, David for providing the add'nl detail. I thought the plane looked familiar.
