NOTES:

Up until 1979 the date was not included on New York Yankees Grandstand & Bleacher tickets. Once you have figured out the year of your ticket using the Grandstand Ticket Stub Dating Guide, you will need to figure out the game that the ticket is attributed to. Correctly attributing the game number on a ticket to the game played will effect the value. A ticket stub will increase in value due to a significant event, or player milestone. A hitting or pitching milestone by a noted player such as a Home Run by Babe Ruth, a shutout thrown by Waite Hoyt or the Opening of Yankee Stadium will have added value.

This New York Yankees Home Schedule is a list of home games to help attribute the number on a ticket to the game(s) played. In 1923 the Yankees were scheduled to play 154 games. 77 Road games, and 77 Home games. NOTE: The Yankees played 76 home games in 1923. Games No. 70., and No. 71 vs. St. Louis were rained out, and not made up. A game Scheduled in Chicago for Aug. 21, was rained out, and the game was added to another make up game at Yankee Stadium and played as an unscheduled Make Up Double Header on, Sept. 12.

The first Yankee Stadium Double Header was played on Independence Day, July 4, 1923, scheduled home games no. 38 & 39. Up until that point, traditional Holiday Double Headers in New York City had separate admissions, but the Yankees decided to do a single admission for both games. Separate admission double header games were scheduled as A.M. & P.M. or Morning Game & Afternoon Game.

It is believed that the Yankees used Game No. 38 tickets, for walk up sales in the A.M but used Game No. 39 tickets for Walk up admission to the second game for people that did not know it was single admission. It was reported that the A.M. game (started before 12:00) gradually drew a crowd of 25,000 by 1:30, but by 3:30 (game-II, 3 P.M. start) the crowd expanded to 45,000.

Tickets for games that were rained out were voided. If the "Make Up Game" for the rain out was added to another scheduled game to create a double header, the ticket number of that scheduled game was used for admission to both games. If the rain out game was made up on an off day, the ticket issued for admission to that game featured a Letter for the Game No.

For a scheduled double header, the ticket with the first Game No. of the two scheduled games was used for admission to both games. NOTE: Separate game admission for Holiday Double Headers was common in the 1920's, and two separate ticket No.'s were used for admittance to each game.
