August 25, 1968 – Tigers vs. Yankees – Game 1

August 25, 1968 By Steve Albin

Another Sunday doubleheader!  This one to close out the 4 game sweep the Yankees accomplished over the first place Tigers.  Most exciting about this game was the newly acquired Rocky Colavito coming in to pitch in the 4th inning.  Steve Barber gave up the fifth run and since the Yankees were playing the 4th of […]

August 24, 1968 – Yankees vs. Tigers

August 24, 1968 By Steve Albin

During this weekend, I was lucky enough to visit with my grandmother in the Bronx which enabled me to catch 3 out of 4 games the Yankees won from the 1st place Detroit Tigers.  This game was a magnificent pitching duel between Mel Stottlemyre and Denny McLain.  As everyone know, McLain went on to win […]

June 9, 1968 – Bat Day Doubleheader – Angels vs. Yankees

June 9, 1968 By Steve Albin

Imagine going to a game attended by 56,000 people and most of them are given full size bats as they entered the stadium.  That was how they did it back then! A walk-off single by Charley Smith that I vaguely remember because my Dad thought Charley Smith was a great prospect when he was with […]

May 30, 1968 – Senators vs. Yankees

May 30, 1968 By Steve Albin

I do remember this event.  Mickey Mantle went 5 for 5 and I watched from the Mezzanine level in the right field stands. Mantle was by far my favorite player and anything he did was thrilling to me, never mind having a game with 2 home runs, 2 doubles and a single. Stan Bahnsen pitched […]

April 28, 1968 – Yankees vs. Detroit Tigers

April 28, 1968 By Steve Albin

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 […]

July 15, 1967 – Cleveland vs. Yankees

July 15, 1967 By Steve Albin

This may have been the first game I attended on my own.  During the years of ’67 and ’68, my father worked in Manhattan and commuted via the LIRR.  On Weekends and holidays, I could use his commutation ticket into NYC for free.  If I had .30 cents for the round trip subway fare, .50 […]
