Fans at the opening day 1973 game at Fenway must've been thinking, "OK so this guy bats instead of the pitcher and doesn't play in the field?" Baseball history was made when New York Yankee Ron Blomberg stepped into the batter's box as baseball's first designated hitter, changing the game forever in the American League. This ticket stub is from that historic game, autographed by Blomberg with an inscription that reads, "1st DH 1973". An important piece for any baseball historian! PSA authenticated.
