February Pickups

[Dewey2007]

Here are a couple of recent ticket stub pickups:

One is the less sexy and much less expensive Roberto Clemente milestone hit ticket...career hit #2,000. His 3-run HR also gave Clemente 100 RBI's for the first time in his career. I also found this AP photo of Clemente from the game.

I found it interesting that the PSA authentication doesn't even mention the 2,000th hit.

The other is a Satchel Paige MLB rookie year win ticket. Paige threw his second consecutive shutout for career win #5 before the largest crowd ever to see a night game up to that point.

Just picked up this partially scored program and two ticket stubs to the New York Giants last game on September 29, 1957 at the Polo Grounds

I recently picked up this cool original photo from the 1941 season.
It features Johnny Vander Meer photographing HOF greats Grover "Pete" Alexander and Tris Speaker on the field before a game that included an Old Timers celebration of sorts.
The photo measures about 7 1/2" X 8".

BTW, I'm uncertain where the photo was actually taken. If anyone recognizes the stadium I would appreciate you letting me know. Thanks!

Nice pic Scott. Now you have to find the pic he took 😜

Picked up this Mets jersey, and got some opinions from you experts (thank you!) last month or so.
But I finally got it in a frame, and found a similar photo on eBay to go along with it. I think it looks pretty good on the wall!

Great image Scott! Nice pickup!!

Scott - Very neat photo.
I think it is Doubleday Field in Cooperstown. The Reds played the Indians in the Hall of fame game in 1941.
It looks like the stands of Doubleday field in the background and the context makes sense too.

Thanks for the info Jack! That does make perfect sense about the HOF game being the venue.
