This is an early Christmas gift from one of my sons. I wasn't aware that season tickets sold specifically for ladies were sold/issued. Has anyone else seen something like this?

I recently found these and I have no idea why I bought them and can't remember doing it but have the ticket/receipt with my name on it.

After looking up the date I found out it was the first MLB game played on "Field Turf" the new and improved Astro Turf.

Sandy Koufax strikes out the side on nine pitches (also called an "Immaculate Inning") for the second time in his career. Only Lefty Grove and Nolan Ryan did it twice.

Max Scherzer's no-hitter against the Mets at Citi Field, October 3, 2015.

First, an unsevered page of tickets from the 2015 New York Mets season ticket holders' ticket booklet, including tickets for the Mets games of October 2 and 3 v. Washington.

Next, a box office ticket from the Scherzer no-no.

Finally - a ticket to the October 3 game against the Nationals that was not for the no-hitter.

Here's the deal. The October 2nd game was rained out, and was rescheduled for the next day as a separate admission day-night doubleheader. So the Mets played the Nationals twice on October 3rd, and a ticket was required for each game.

The rained out game was Game 79, as shown on the season tickets. The Scherzer no-hitter was Game 80. So collectors of tickets from no-hitters should make sure the 10/3 dated ticket they're being offered is marked Game 80.

I don't have many tickets, but I like these two -- a catcher figural and a Pittsfield ticket mentioning Roger Connor.

For those that don't know, St. Louis Browns RHP Bobo Holloman would likely be the poster boy for the most unlikely pitcher to ever hurl a no-hitter.
In 1953 he pitched briefly, mostly in a mop-up relief role for the Brownies.

Prior to the 1953 ML season, Holloman injured his arm while pitching in the Puerto Rican league. In Puerto Rico Holloman had pitched very effectively and had been a standout on the Santurce squad. Not wanting to mess up his opportunity to pitch in the majors, Holloman downplayed the extent of his arm injury.

Holloman made his ML debut on April 18th, 1953 pitching in relief of starting pitcher Don Larsen, of WS perfect game fame, who also debuted in the same game.
Holloman, a flake but always self-assured, continually pleaded with Browns manager Marty Marion for the opportunity to start a game "to show him what he was capable of".
On May 6th, 1953 Holloman finally succeeded in his quest.
In his first starting assignment in the majors, Bobo Holloman pitched a no-hitter. He became the first and only player since Cincinnati Reds pitcher Bumpus Jones accomplished the same feat in 1892.

By July of 1953 Bobo Holloman was traded to Toronto and never played another game in the major leagues.

On June 21, 1953 Bobo won his 3rd and final career game against the Boston Red Sox in game 2 of a doubleheader. HOF'er Satchel Paige pitched in relief of Holloman and got his 7th save of the season. This is a ticket from this game.

I recently picked up a similar figural ticket. The Albany team must have had tickets leftover from the Athletics game which they stamped and reused the next year for a game against the NY Giants.

I have been looking for this stub for many years.
I acquired it after messaging the same person for over 3 years and always getting a not interested or not right now.
He was finally willing to part with it after my persistence. I would email him every 6 months or so to see if he was willing to part.
It is a ticket from the 1948 AL Playoff Game
Which pitted my Indians vs the Boston Red Sox. This is a very hard ticket to obtain and i have never seen another one but i figured one had to exist...and now i own it.
Couldnt be more excited!
