A Bunch of Old Ticket Stubs

I was looking for something completely unrelated to cards while digging through the bedroom closet today and found an old scrapbook I put together when I was in junior high and my first few years of high school. The first four pages of the scrapbook were ticket stubs from various baseball games and other events I've been too. I thought I would share them here ...


One interesting note here is that the Reds/Royals ticket stub is from the game where Pete Rose Jr. debuted and got his first major league hit. There is also a ticket stub from Opening Day 1999, which is one of the few times I've managed to go to Opening Day for the Reds as tickets are extremely hard to get.


My aunt always got Reds tickets from her work in the early 90s and we would always go when she got tickets. The stub from the WWF show was the first live wrestling show I ever went to and it was one of the few events I ever went to with my dad.


See the next scan for a picture of me at the Indians/Orioles game from 1998.


The picture at the bottom is a picture of me taken by my uncle in the summer of 1998 (I was 13 years old) in front of Jacobs Field. We were visiting my aunt and uncle and my uncle and I went to the Indians/Orioles game (see the third scan for the ticket stub).

I've got some more ticket stubs in another scrapbook that's buried in my garage. Once I find that, I might scan some more in and share those as well. Hope you enjoyed this little look back.

Programs, Get Your Programs Here!

My wife and I were cleaning out our garage a a few weeks ago and buried inside a giant cardboard box were some old Reds programs, the majority of which I got when I went to Reds games as a kid, and later, as a teenager. I'm in the process of scanning in some of the contents of these magazines and will share them here in time. Some of them are very fragile (especially the 1976 and 1995 programs) so I'm having to be very cautious with those. In the meantime, here are scans of the covers of all the programs I found.

1995 Reds Yearbook/Progam

1997 Reds Yearbook

1998 Reds Magazine Issue 1

1998 Reds Magazine Issue 2

1999 Reds Magazine Issue 1

1999 Reds Magazine Issue 3

2000 Reds Magazine

2002 Reds Yearbook


As I mentioned, I'm scanning in some of the contents of each of these but it's a very time consuming process. I'm not scanning the whole magazine, as that would take forever, just the interesting parts of each one. I think somewhere I have the ticket stubs and some scorecards from the games where I got these. If I can find them, I'll post them up when I do the scans as well.

Hope you enjoy these when I get them posted up! I've got some other ideas I'm working on as well while I work on my next card post.
