Thought I’d add one here! I’ve posted this before but this is the ticket from the May 10, 1952 game between the Cleveland Indians and St. Louis Browns. The Tribe lost 6-4 in front of just over 14,000 fans however the game is significant as Quincy Trouppe, former Negro League star would collect his only MLB hit and start his only complete game at catcher going nine innings. Unfortunately Trouppe would be sent to Indianapolis the following day with the game on May 10 being his last in the majors. As a 39 year old rookie he batted .100 in 11 plate appearances over six games. In the eyes of most fans and players that day it was a routine game but to Trouppe the culmination of a career.
