1995 ALDS NEW YORK YANKEES — HISTORIC TWO-TICKET SET
Two original 1995 American League Division Series ticket stubs from Games 1 & 2 between the New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners at Yankee Stadium.
These are my tickets from the games.
This is an especially interesting two-ticket pairing because these are back-to-back games associated with two all-time baseball legends at very different points in their careers.
⚾ GAME 1 — OCTOBER 3, 1995
Seattle Mariners vs. New York Yankees
This was Ken Griffey Jr.'s first career postseason game.
Griffey wasted no time making his mark, going 3-for-5 with 2 home runs and 3 RBI.
The Yankees won the game 9-6.
This ticket is therefore a piece of memorabilia from Ken Griffey Jr.'s postseason debut and his two-home-run performance.
⚾ GAME 2 — OCTOBER 4, 1995
Seattle Mariners vs. New York Yankees
Game 2 became one of the memorable extra-inning games of the 1990s.
The Yankees defeated Seattle 7-5 in 15 innings.
Most importantly for collectors, this game marked:
MARIANO RIVERA'S FIRST CAREER POSTSEASON APPEARANCE
Rivera entered in the 12th inning and delivered a legendary performance:
3⅓ scoreless innings
2 hits allowed
5 strikeouts
POSTSEASON WIN
He even struck out Jay Buhner and retired Ken Griffey Jr. during his first postseason appearance.
MLB later described Rivera's performance in this game as potentially his finest postseason relief appearance.
The game was eventually won by the Yankees in the bottom of the 15th inning when Jim Leyritz hit a dramatic two-run walk-off home run.
⭐ WHY THIS TWO-TICKET SET IS SPECIAL
You're getting two consecutive nights of 1995 ALDS history at Yankee Stadium:
GAME 1
Ken Griffey Jr.'s first career postseason game
Griffey hits 2 home runs
GAME 2
Mariano Rivera's first career postseason appearance
Rivera throws 3⅓ scoreless innings
Rivera records 5 strikeouts
Rivera earns his first postseason victory
Jim Leyritz hits the 15th-inning walk-off home run
These aren't simply vintage Yankees tickets — they document the early postseason histories of Ken Griffey Jr. and Mariano Rivera, two players who went on to become Hall of Fame legends.
