Below is one of my favorites, it's my ticket to the first ever Arizona Diamondbacks game. It was Tuesday, March 31, 1998. I was 16 years old and my brother-in-law had bought season tickets and I was lucky enough to get to go with him to Opening Day. The ticket below is a special ticket (think Sportflics) for season ticket holders that had the roof of the Bank One Ballpark open and close as you move it.
Good topic, and a recent event. I have a few, first a picture I took from Father's day 2011 at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati. It was the first game I took my Dad to, and my daughter came along. Second, a total of 9 autographs my daughter and I got this last weekend. Without memories the sport would be meaningless...
ReplyDeleteI guess my Wrigley Field program from Opening Day 1969. My Dad took me and I still remember him jumping up and down when Willie Smith hit a home run to win the game.

ReplyDeleteGreat question... first thing that popped into my head was the vintage A's souvenir helmet I picked up this weekend at a local show:

This answer changes all the time, as I don't have a clearcut favorite. I'd probably say my Tino Martienz signed TTM card, or the my entire Topps Yankees Project.
ReplyDeleteLol. I think it's funny that most of the answers here include a link to a blog post. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
ReplyDeleteProbably not my all-time favorite piece of memorabilia but your D-Backs ticket has me thinking about my favorite ticket stub. I have one from September 11, 2001. The D-Backs/Astros game was cancelled and replayed a few days later.
moe.
Off the top of my head I'll say a piece of the bench from 2006 when the Cardinals won the world series, cut into a home-plate shape.
