I love the two I have also!

My Grand parents went to the game and I have them displayed in my office with a couple of stubs from the Dodgers on Sept 2, 1958 that my Mom & Dad went to at the LA Coliseum. My mom wrote (mine) & (Joe's) on them....3 years before I was born.

Now that they are no longer with us, it is comforting to have these tiny little family treasures to look at daily as a reminder, that time marches on pretty darn quickly and appreciate those times when Dodger baseball meant something to me. McCourt has cured me of my love affar with the Dodgers however.

I'm writing a book about the Dodgers. This game is getting a full chapter. I don't suppose either of you have (inherited) a scorecard from this game, do you? Any other artifacts besides the ticket?

I really dont collect tickets but have a few. Here is MY ticket and program to Mantles retirement day. My father took myself and my brother. I was 11 at the time. Boy how it seemed like yesterday!

Thanks Al! That's pretty neat that you actually attended the Mick's retirement game.

BTW, I saw Mickey Mantle play a few times between 1966-1968 out in California when the Yankees played the Angels. I don't recall seeing Mantle do anything too spectacular in the games I attended, but I was amazed that the fans ALWAYS gave him a bigger round of applause than any of the hometown Angels. As a kid, that seemed very interesting to me...

Nice blog and ticket booklet, Skip! I can understand why it's your favorite.
Very cool & incredibly scarce I'm sure.

Always looking for 1945 Cincinnati Reds Tickets....

I recently picked up this vintage Walter Johnson win ticket at Philly A's.
This was Walter's 301st career win and a nifty shutout to boot (#88/110 career shutouts- a ML record). WaJo shut out the A's 5-0 with 7 K's and 0 BB in the 2nd game of a double header.

This ticket originated from a large collection of vintage Philadelphia A's and Phillies ticket stubs that first surfaced in the hobby in the mid 1990's. All games were most likely attended by one patron or family as all the notations were written in the same hand.

That sounds GREAT! I can't wait to read it. Unfortunately, I don't have any other Artifacts other than these beautiful ticket stubs! I have continued to cherish these from my childhood.

I used to see these tucked in the mirror frame of my grandparent dresser growing up. I wasn't born until 1961.

BTW,

I'm a big Campy fan as well and was fortunate enough to meet him at Dodger Stadium on several occasions, on the old club level in the early 90's. There was a spot for his wheel chair and 1 seat for his wife, tucked against a wall, just to the left of home plate. Being on the same side on the same level (Club level only had 3 rows- Don Drysdale below us and Ross Porter in back) I had the opportunity to rub elbows (LOL) My friends even got his autograph on several occasions, though I never did????? ....ahhhh those were the days.
