A ticket from the day Tom Browning left Wrigley Field in uniform and watched part of the game from a rooftop across Sheffield Avenue.
Why This Ticket Matters
During Cincinnati’s July 7, 1993 game against the Chicago Cubs, Reds pitcher Tom Browning slipped out of the ballpark and joined fans on a rooftop overlooking Wrigley Field.
Television cameras spotted Browning in uniform during the top of the third inning. He returned to the club and was fined $500 by manager Davey Johnson; Cincinnati went on to win 4–3.
The stunt became one of the most memorable rooftop stories in Wrigley history. This ticket connects the game on the field with the neighborhood vantage point that made the ballpark unique.
