Historic? This game actually has it all on so many levels...

Johnson literally did it all in 1912.

He won over 30 games for the 1st of two consecutive years of accomplishing this lofty goal. He struck out over 300 batters for the 2nd time in his career- 303 (led MLB) in 1912. His 1.39 ERA also led all of baseball in 1912.
Oh yeah, there was also a winning streak of 16 games without a single loss...

In this game, which was played in NY, Walter defeated the AL NY Highlanders in what would be the final time that they would be called the Highlanders.
In 1913 NY changed their name to the NY Yankees for the 1st time.

Only 200 people attended this game, which is an incredibly small number, making this ticket perhaps one of the rarest historic games that I have ever seen, FWIW...

Where did you come across that? That is a tremendous ticket.

This was the first game back after the 1981 strike when Kansas City opened a series at Memorial Stadium. The game went into the 12th inning tied at 2-2 when in the bottom of the frame, Ken Singleton doubled to lead off the inning when a just recalled Cal Ripken Jr. was called into the game to pinch-run for him. The Royals intentionally walked Eddie Murray & then John Lowenstein singled to right field scoring Ripken with the game winning run.

Not a bad game for a MLB debut:

As they say, better be lucky than good!

C'mon Scott, seriously, you found a treasure map in an old library and in the process of following it to the ticket you had to battle bad guys and snakes. I find that much more believable. LOL
Great find either way my friend.

Speaking of interesting tickets.

I have this up on Ebay along with some others.

I had never heard of this game until I researched it more. (only 1 currently graded by PSA - Press Pass)

It featured an Old Timers Game with Rogers Hornsby (who was a KKK member) playing against some Negro Leaguers, one being John Donaldson who pitched against Black Sox players Happy Felsch and Swede Risberg in the 1920's after they were banned from Baseball. Some say he was among the greatest of all Negro League pitchers. 33 years pitching. 413 wins. 5,081 strikeouts. 14 no-hitters. Two perfect games. 22 strikeouts during a game in August 1914.

and this one actually has footage of him pitching:

And if that isn't enough it that day at Wrigley the ballgirl was Marilyn Monroe!

I'd go with the full tickets. He is an expensive signer. Somewhere I saw he has an upcoming signing and his base fee for cards and balls was like $125.

Very nice, Guy! That's a historic record.
Can't be many of these babies floating around. Nice pickup!

I have a couple of 1988 World Series game 1 full and stubs. I’m planning to get two of them autographed by Kirk Gibson. One is a full ticket that has a couple of creases. I’m deciding between the other nicer full ticket or a stub.

What would make more sense having two full tickets autographed or one full + one stub?

Someone posted in this thread the first game that Ted Williams managed for the Senators, here are the tickets to the last game he managed as the Senators skipper.

My sister and her boyfriend at the time went to this game. The stadium was also handing out Ted Williams My Turn At Bat paperbacks at the game. My sister taped the tickets to the back of the book after the game.

She knew that I wanted them and one day about 5 - 6 years ago, I got this for a Christmas present. While I'd like to remove them from the book, I believe they will just stay where they are.

Cheers,

That's great. They must have memories of the fans running onto the field and the resulting forfeit. Quite a night.

I remember listening to the game on the radio. The Senators were winning until the fans ran the field late in the 9th inning and started ripping the place apart. A fitting end to the jack wagon that was Bob Short. Dude stole my team and took them to Texas.

Some thing can never be forgiven. Until the Nationals won a World Series I never thought I would see in my lifetime!!!! I still hate Bob Short but still have the memories.

First in war, first in peace, last in the American League East! WOOT!!

Senators radio broadcast by the late Ron Menchine, who was quite a baseball memorabilia collector and noted expert on vintage baseball postcards.

I wish I had full unused tickets but I like this 1948 World Series set.

This ticket was actually an eBay purchase.
