1953 Stockton Ports Opening Day ticket sample

Winning bid: $125

Gotta think this is a printer’s sample. To wit:

  • Ticket # 000
  • “Practice Field” but no city listed
  • Chicago Giants vs New York Cubs. There was a Chicago Giants team, but they stopped playing in 1921.

The 1953 MiLB California League is listed on the reverse with  Stockton the only Cal League team not included.
