On April 23, 1953, the Yankees defeated their rival Boston Red Sox by a 6-3 score at Yankee Stadium. Trailing 3-1, the Sox tied the game 3-3 in the top of the 9th inning, only for Yankees icon Mickey Mantle to smack a walk-off 3-run homer in the bottom of the ninth off of Ellis Kinder. This is the only ticket stub from that game to be encapsulated by PSA and deemed a VG/EX 4.
The red/orange-hued ticket stub includes the standard "RAIN CHECK", $1.25 Grandstand Fee, Yankee emblem, and "GAME NO. 5" text placing it as an irrefutable April 23, 1953 Yankees Red Sox ticket (April 23rd was the 5th home game for the Yankees in 1953). This was the first "walk-off" home run of "The Mick's" iconic career, with the young Yankee superstar rapidly ascending on a career path that would place him among the all-time Yankees greats.
