Ticket stub from the New York Giants game against The Brooklyn Dodgers that took place on December 7, 1941
Three scheduled NFL games were under way when the Japanese first attacked Pearl Harbor at 12:55 p.m. Eastern time on that Sunday.
The public address announcer at New York’s Polo Grounds, where fans were celebrating “Tuffy Leemans' Day” in honor of their star running back, interrupted his commentary to tell all servicemen to report to their units.
The same was done at Chicago’s Comiskey Park. At Washington’s Griffith Stadium, the announcer paged high-ranking government and military personnel who were in attendance, but did not mention the attack. Reporters were told to check with their offices.
On Monday, December 8, the United States of America officially entered World War II.
This stub was $2.20 in section 40, row R, seat 16 in the upper stands. The Giants lost the game 21-7 and we went to war. Ticket is in nice condition and you'll not find another. Please see photos for more details. New York City New York
