July 17th of 1947 was one of the key reasons that today's featured ticket stub was a must-have for my ticket collection. July 17th is my birthday, first and foremost, and owning a stub from a vintage Dodgers game on that date is just cool. When the legendary Jackie Robinson has career hit number 101 in that game and is a rookie, well, a trifecta of awesomeness has occurred!
The Pirates clobbered the Blue Crew on that day, but a certain Pirate made a contribution I had to have noted on the flip.
