Above: My Dad's ticket stub from the 1978 American League East Playoff Game against the New York Yankees. There's a story behind why he wrote the date on the ticket in ball point pen after the Game. you see... The Red Sox had to win their last seven games in a row to force the playoff. So no one expected that game would ever even happen. And it wasn't decided until the day before where it would be played: at Yankee or Fenway. So the Red Sox had basically one day to come up with almost thirty-three thousand tickets, so with no time to plan, they ended up using replacement stubs without even the date printed on them! So he figured that would be a good way to commemorate this historical (yet for him, miserable) day in Baseball history that he got to participate in. (And yes, it's goes without saying that my Father was not a Baseball Card collector at the time. *sigh* LOL)
