My favorite obscure one I still have is from an 18 inning game in 2004. Soriano hit a walkoff home run saving me from having a heat stroke. It was a day game in June haha.
Attended the 9/30/84 perfect game of Mike Witt (Angels) beating the Rangers. I had a complete untorn ticket with me for some reason, and I got the pitcher of the game Charlie Hough to autograph my ticket. He was leaning against his car in the players' parking lot, saying he'd sign for everyone because he had no place to be before his flight to Hawaii the next morning. He was one of my favorite Rangers ever.
That is very cool. I bet Charlie was ripping cigs the whole time too. He always seemed like a very chill guy. I miss the old days when the players were so approachable. I’d go in the 80s with my glove or a ball and easily get 10 or so autographs pregame.
I have this crazy quest where I’m trying to find ticket stubs to all of Carlton Fisk’s career games. As you can see from this list, Rangers have always been tough for me to cross off the list.
Neat. Would you consider looking to see if you have any Vs the Red Sox that are still on my wantlist? I’ve been looking for over 25 years for these remaining dates.
Because I was a baseball card collector, I saved every sports and concert stub I've had since HS. So I have been really pissed that most tickets it seems are just a QR scan on your phone or a print out. No one uses physical tickets anymore.
I still have every one from every MLB game I've been to. I've also started entering them into the Ballpark app - it has a history section and you can see all the games and stadiums you've been to.
