Ticket stub from Game 3 of the 1932 World Series between the New York Yankees and Chicago Cubs played at Wrigley Field in Chicago on October 1 1932. This was the famous game in which Babe Ruth hit the legendary "Called Shot" home run. In the top of the first with 2 men on Babe Ruth stepped to the plate and put a shot into deep right center for a 3 run home run off Cub pitcher Charlie Root. Ruth was said to have pointed toward the outfield before his momentous blast. The two main problems are a 3/4" by 3/4" by 3/4" diagonal area of missing top paper at the upper right side and a 1/2" tear at the right center edge. Otherwise the ticket is in fairly nice condition with good color clean front and back and some light soiling. Corners about VG/VG-EX. No creasing to speak of except for a small diagonal crease at the lower right corner. A remarkable piece of Babe Ruth and World Series history.
Ticket stub has been slabbed AUTHENTIC by PSA.
