Just added another milestone ticket to the collection — this one from August 13, 1979, when Lou Brock recorded his 3,000th hit against the Cubs at Busch Memorial Stadium.
Brock became just the 14th player in MLB history to reach the milestone. Hope you enjoy!
A year ago I posted the ticket stub from this game, but I finally purchased a full ticket and wanted to share it here.
This is from April 19, 1966 — the Angels’ first regular season game at Anaheim Stadium (“The Big A”). Really cool piece of baseball and stadium history, especially with the vintage stadium artwork and baseball design on the ticket. Hope you enjoy!
Some of you might know that I collect historic tickets, and I was lucky enough to pick up this ticket in the last few months from the night Hank Aaron passed Babe Ruth in HRs.
I’ve always loved connecting tickets to the story behind them, so being able to pair the original ticket with this signed 8x10 from Aaron’s 715th home run made this display feel complete.
Apologies for the glare - I always find it hard to take a quality picture without me in it lol.
One of my favorite pieces of my collection — original ticket from the Ducks’ inaugural season (Oct 8, 1993 vs. Red Wings at The Pond) signed by Guy Hebert.
Thinking about sending to PSA so I can make a display.
Got this fun one in and had to share.
June 27, 1977 — Giants vs Reds. Willie McCovey went absolutely nuclear and hit 2 home runs in the SAME inning… for the second time in his career.
First one to do it actually!

Mail day win 🙌
Just got back my Mike Trout “Catch” photo, plus the ticket from that game and his MLB debut ticket. Pretty cool trio to add to the collection.
Cool ticket I just acquired - Vin Scully’s WS debut.
Nothing too notable happened this game, but the Yankees did beat the Dodgers 9-5.
Able to find one that color matches the Dodgers.
