This one is somewhat of a mystery to me. I don’t quite remember this game. It was the first game of a Sunday doubleheader. I don’t see the scorecard for the second game in my collection. Usually, during this era, you were given an insert sheet scorecard for the extra game on doubleheader days. I also don’t remember why I stopped scoring the first game in the seventh inning. I doubt I left early and I’m sure I enjoyed this game since my favorite player, Mickey Mantle, drove in the tying run in the eighth.
Likely, I attended this game by myself traveling into the City via my Dad’s LIRR commutation ticket.
