(October 16th, 1911) PHILADELPHIA– An enormous crowd is in line for tickets today at Shibe Park! Philadelphia fans are excited to see if Eddie Plank can even this Series at one apiece, and the line stretches around the block. This will be a sellout and then some, and plenty of fans will pay $2 and even $3 just for the right to stand inside the ballpark and watch the game! It has been said that ticket speculators are having a field day down at the ballpark, and that there have been tickets sold for as much as $11!
