Tremendous ticket stub dating to 1907-08 time frame, as described in Dan Busby's wonderful book Before and After Babe Ruth, which helps us decipher the lettering and numbering systems on ticket stubs for the various New York sports teams.  

The Giants' Game 11 in 1907 was played Monday, May 13 against the Cincinnati Reds. Already off to a 19-3 start, the Giants blanked the Reds, 1-0 behind the pitching of Hall of Famer Joe McGinnity.  Second baseman Tommy Corcoran drove in the only run for New York.

In 1908, the Giants' Game 11 was played on Sunday, June 6 against the St. Louis Cardinals.  That game was also a Giants' win, this time behind the pitching of Christy Mathewson, who went the distance, striking out 8. Mike Donlin drove in two runs for the Giants in that one.

Either way, the ticket is in GOOD condition with a lower-left corner clip, along with some surface wear and image fading.
