While looking for some stuff to bring to my office, I burrowed my way into my ticket stub collection from my younger days. Here is some of what I found (apologies in advance for the low image quality) …
This is my oldest Dodger stub, from one of the first Dodger games I had ever attended — I can’t imagine I had been to more than a few before this. When I was young, I would sometimes put the tickets in the old family typewriter and type my name on them, because my family’s Rams season tickets came with my father’s name printed on them.

This is from the only World Series game I have yet attended.

That pitch looks like it’s gonna smack our Dodger hero in the face if he doesn’t duck.

Yes, it has been a while since there was an All-Star Game at Dodger Stadium.

The Times’ A student ticket program was a huge deal when I was a kid. This one was my brother’s.

Here’s the Opening Day stub following the Dodgers’ 1981 World Series triumph.

This is an unused ticket to the R.J. Reynolds squeeze game. I was invited to a Raiders game that day and went there instead, but got home in time to see the ninth inning on what was then a relatively rare telecast live from Dodger Stadium.

Olympic year.

I like this hologram ticket from Opening Day 1992.

I was all set to go to the World Series … that wasn’t.

Cool tickets! I have 1997 Dodgers World Series tickets that unfortunately went unused from my first year with season tickets.
I’ve heard that season ticket holders this year will not be receiving hard tickets in the mail, but only electronic tickets to print out or be scanned off our phones. Do you have any info on this? I very much hope the rumor is untrue.

Interesting collection of ticket stubs Jon. Wish I had saved some of mine. Do you still have the stub from Fernando’s no-hitter? I remember you mentioning that you attended that game.

I feel like I have it, but it’s not in the batch I got these from.
