ADDENDUM: This is the only 1923 World Series Game 6 stub graded at this level with only two graded higher (both 6).
The term home field advantage took on a whole new meaning in 1923 as baseball's grand cathedral Yankees Stadium opened much to the dismay of the Giants. Although the two-time defending champions would finally reclaim the Polo Grounds for themselves The House That Ruth Built towered over their yard and featured an enormous seating capacity with an architectural beauty that was second to none. The Giants had generously shared their field with the Yankees (and Highlanders) since 1913 but now found themselves standing in the shadow of their cross-town rivals.
The shift in power was consummated after the Yankees defeated the Giants in six games in the 1923 World Series. The offered ticket stub originates from Game 6 the October 15th clincher that saw Babe Ruth and company win their first championship. Graded EX 5 by PSA this is the only example graded at this level with only two graded higher (both 6). Babe Ruth hit 3 home runs in the series including a solo shot in this final game. The super clean ticket retains outstanding color with only a few tiny chips to the edge on the back. A highly significant historical artifact and a condition rarity to boot.
