In 1958, long-time New York City interborough National League rivals, the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Giants, both moved to California. Presented is a full ticket to the Dodgers' first Los Angeles home game. They opened the season on April 15th in the Giants' new city, San Francisco, and the Giants won 8-0. After the Giants took two out of the three San Francisco games, both teams met again on the afternoon of Friday, April 18th, in Los Angeles. Playing at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, before 78,672 fans, including many movie stars, the Dodgers won 6-5. The Coliseum was well-suited for both football and track & field, but baseball dimensions presented problems and left field was only 251 feet from home plate, and so a huge screen was erected in left field to keep too many balls from becoming cheap home runs. Veteran Brooklyn Dodger right-hander Carl Erskine started for Los Angeles in the team's inaugural home opening day and took the win, with Clem Labine getting the save. The Giants' Johnny Antonelli took the loss, in relief. For the Dodgers, Hall of Fame outfielder Duke Snider, second baseman Charlie Neal, and third baseman Dick Gray each had two hits, a run scored and an RBI, with Gray blasting a homer. Hank Sauer hit two based-loaded homers for the Giants. The full ticket has two places where a ticket taker has punch cancelled the ducat. The ticket measures 1.5x5". The ticket price is listed as $3.50 for a field box. The ticket has been encapsulated and PSA graded EX-MT 6.
