Someone isn't being paid to injure players anymore so they had to sell their ring. Sorry, I had to! BEAUTIFUL RING Michael, Congratulations! May I ask what the favorite ring in your collection is?

picked up a couple things recently:

game program, yankees white sox, july 22 1939:


game program, white sox athletics, july 13 1939:

stub from above game:


covers of above programs:


i'm not quite sure why the ticket has the july date written on it, but is clearly stamped apr 23 (which should have been a vs st louis game), but i'm told that they were aquired together, so who knows....

i'm pretty happy in any case.....

Mike,
It probably was a game that was rescheduled due to weather issues since it has Apr. 23 printed on it. Look at a newspaper from April 23rd, 1939 and you can probably confirm this.

I hope this helps!

Based on the scoring in the scorecard, the game was played on July 13. The white Sox lost 12-10 after having an 8-0 lead through the first 3 innings.

www.retrosheet.org is the go to sight to figure out these types of questions.

PS - the other one looks to be from the July 28th game as noted on it's cover.

In football, this ring is not for everyone, but I was really thrilled to finally acquire it recently. it is 2.5 times heavier than superbowl rings from the 70's.

My favorite baseball ring is a '55 dodger player ring.

Since there are not too many tickets in this collection I am trying to get all 4 homerun game tickets. The newer ones aren't real difficult but older ones obviously are. I just managed to get this Joe Adcock stub off Ebay. July 31st, 1954. I still need Lou Gehrig 6/3/32 in Phila, Chuck Klein 7/10/36 in Pitts, Rocky Colavito 6/10/59 in Balt Willie Mys 4/3061 in Mil. & Mike Schmidt 4/17/76 in Chi.

Curious, does anyone know where we can find tickets? I've been looking for marlins tickets from 5-14-1998 to 5-22-1998 for about a decade it feels like.
