This ticket stub was for the final game of the 1928 World Series won by the N.Y. Yankees 4-0 over the Cardinals. The game was played at Sportsman's Park in St. Louis. Babe Ruth* would hit 3 home runs in this game. The stub is in excellent condition. There is a crease that is noticeable on the back side of the stub. A very historic ticket and one that is not easy to find.

*Leading 2–1 going into the seventh, Game 4 was the first time the Cards led the Yanks in the entire Series. In the top of the seventh, 21-game-winning southpaw Will Sherdel had an 0–2 count on Babe Ruth, who turned to say something to catcher Earl Smith, Sherdel "quick-pitched," or threw without a windup, for what he thought was strike three on the Babe. "Quick pitches" were legal in the National League, but not in the American League or the World Series. So NL plate umpire Cy Pfirman called "no pitch," touching off a vociferous argument with the Cardinals they couldn't win. Ruth then took two balls to even the count at 2–2 before homering to tie the game at two apiece. Gehrig's ensuing back-to-back home run, his fourth of the Series, gave the Yanks a lead they never relinquished. They scored twice more in the seventh, and Ruth capped things off with his third homer of the game in the two-run Yankee eighth.
