Presented is a piece of baseball history. This ticket stub features the iconic players Rickey Henderson and Tony Gwynn, with Henderson’s 3000th hit and Gwynn’s final career game taking place on September 19, 2001. The stub is an original, and was autographed by Henderson on the front in blue felt tip (“9”). The back has the JSA authentication sticker affixed.

The game itself was meaningless, as neither the San Diego Padres nor the Colorado Rockies were playoff-bound. The sellout crowd was on hand to say goodbye to Tony Gwynn, who was set to retire upon the conclusion of the season. Gwynn had become “Mr. Padre” by spending his entire 20-year career with the team, amassing 3,141 hits, a .338 batting average, and eight NL batting titles. Gwynn later said about his last game, “My whole approach was just to have fun, but everybody kept coming up to me crying, and that made it hard. I wanted to have fun. It’s a celebration.”

Though the fans had turned out to show their affection for Gwynn, he was reduced to a pinch-hitting role because of an injured right knee and was not in the starting lineup. Gwynn was happy to share his final game with Henderson, who had respectfully offered to bench himself so that the spotlight would remain on his teammate. Gwynn would have none of that, however, recalling in 2007 that Henderson had told him, “Rickey need to let you enjoy your last day in the big leagues,” to which Gwynn responded, “There are going to be 65,000 people in this ballpark tomorrow, coming to see you get your 3,000th hit, too, so I appreciate the thought, you know, but you gotta be out there tomorrow.”

Henderson decided to play, and he started the game in his customary leadoff spot. When he came to bat in the bottom of the first, he wasted no time in giving the fans the thrill they had hoped for, as he hit Colorado starter John Thomson’s first pitch down the right-field line. Rockies first baseman Todd Helton, second baseman Terry Shumpert, and right fielder Mario Encarnacion all made a run at the fly ball, but it dropped onto the field for a double that made Henderson, who was playing in his 23rd season, the 25th major leaguer to accumulate 3,000 hits.
