Funny Story, But so true. Triple Crown

In 2003 I won tickets on the radio to a Florida Marlins game, They were playing the Devil Rays, I was no Marlin Fan

But, free tix, I was going.

After a couple innings they brought in this NEW KID, for his Major League Debut, his name Miguel Cabrera, in the 12th inning he hit walk off

Home Run. And the Marlins went on to win World Series that year.

Today he accomplished the TRIPLE CROWN.

Here is the Best part of story, Radio staion gave me 4 tix,

Only my wife and I went.

I still have the tickets stubs we

used, and the other 2 unused tickets.

I'm glad I saved em.

How much are they worth??? I will give you 300 PO points... J/K But not if you take it.:cool:

That's awesome. Are you considering selling them or are you going to hang on to them?

2003: Rookie year
Cabrera made his major league debut on June 20, 2003, at 20 years old; Edgar Renter?a, at 19 years old, was the only Marlins player to make his debut at a younger age. Cabrera hit a walk-off home run in his first major league game, following Billy Parker in 1972 and Josh Bard in 2002 as the third player since 1900 to hit a game-winning home run in his big-league debut.

Gimme the tickets!

very nice story, you might get 5-10k for those ticks 1 day..wow

I'd get them signed

Why are the unused tickets worth something?

pretty sick story wow. i don't even follow baseball but obv saw his triple crown today. ship zab the tix for some pts

Because Cabrera, who just accomplished the Triple Crown in Baseball, made his major league debut in the game he had unused tickets for, and hit a walk off home run.

holy crap triple crown had no clue. hr rbi and my fav sb leader, congrats. is this guy juiced.

That is an awesome souvenir but also very likely that the tix could be a future gold mine for you. Take excellent care of them whatever you do because the condition is a very important determining factor for value.

Thank you Rocket, I don't know anything about sports so I was confused hehe:D

I will post pic of tickets.
Who is going to copy and print.
Zab, these tickets are a Tigers fans Dream.
im gonna hold em till he retires HOF, gonna frame em with autograph and head shot.Attachment 972

is the story sport ??? i see interresting :D.........

That's a unique piece of MLB history you're sitting on. You gotta hold on to those.

I had another Idea,

I wonder if Miguel Cabrera has a ticket from his own Debut game. I Gotta get with his people somehow.

I can tell you back then, NO ONE went to Marlins game, I bet attendance that night was less than 15K, and I cant imagine

another dope like me that held on to those tickets for 10 years.

great job crazy how it took so long for another person to win the triple crown....would of liked to see him play the full game but hey fuck it he deserved it.....crazy talented.

Thats a cool story, a triple crown hasn't happened since 1967 the year before I was born, the amasing thing is their has been a 30 game winner since the last triple crown

I walked em into memoribilia store,here in town, Guy said its to early to value, but offered me $200 for each ticket.

I said NO

UPDATE

The first ticket has made its way to EBay, heres the link.

The guy wants $5000, his is a season ticket graded, I have 2, one of mine depicts thee dugout
after 3rd out in 1997 world Series.

2003 Miguel Cabrera 1st Homerun HR Full Season Ticket PSA 10 Gem-Mint. 1 of 1 | eBay

I contacted the EBay seller, he says that the grading company PSA lists his a the only debut ticket in existence, We know better,

cause you all have seen my two in previous post. I will be routing for Tigers to win series, Then this will be really big.

lol..nice strategy..they must be worth a fortune!!!

Then send it to me

not only do you have the 2 unused tickets but you also got to go the game thats pretty awesome

Beast!!

If Tigers win series, That adds to provenance, he would then have world Series Rings in NL AND AL.
Zab being a Tigers fan and Me, part of this forum, having these tickets, is also a weird coincidence.
