My sister and his 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.

My sister ended up giving me all of her Senators game stubs. I even got the 69 All-Star game stub from her too. I loved the intro to the Senators radio games. Shelby Whitfield and Ron Menchine along with a punk sports caster from WTOP, Warner Wolf. Those were the days.
