Last year I posted about an April 2008 game between the Orioles and White Sox that got suspended due to weather and finished in Baltimore in August. That timeline created some bizarre statistical anomalies, such as the fact that Ken Griffey Jr is credited as playing for both the Reds and White Sox on 4/28/08 because he was acquired by Chicago between the start and completion of the game.

My post from last year showed ticket stubs I acquired from the 4/28 Reds game and an August game that allowed Orioles fans to see the finish of the game. I recently completed the trifecta by nabbing a Chicago ticket from the start of the game on 4/28.

I recognize that nobody cares about this stuff except nerds like me (us?), but for less than $20 I have a collectible conversation piece of a quirky moment in baseball history.

Happy birthday to a certain minor league baseball player that I drove all the way to Birmingham to see play back in 1994…

While the gold medal game is likely the more sought after ticket, this is the very first game team USA played in the 1992 Olympics. This fact alone makes it incredibly special as it was the “debut” game. USA won easily over Croatia with Michael Jordan leading all scorers with 21 points. The Croatian team, however, was loaded with NBA stars such as Drazen Petrovic, Dino Radja and Toni Kukoc and others. I believe this to be the second most important dream team basketball ticket after the gold medal game!

30 years ago today, Curtis Martin and Ty Law make their NFL Debut.

Can we get some groups created which are dedicated to ticket stubs?
