The Yankees would avenge their 1957 loss in the World Series to the Braves by making a comeback from a 3-1 games deficit to beat the Barves for the 1958 title. This ticket stub is for game 3* of the series played at Yankee Stadium. It has some light surface creasing, but overall is in excellent condition.

*The Yankees needed this win to stay within striking distance of the semmingly run-away Braves. Hank Bauer drove in all the Yankees' runs going 3 for 4 with four runs batted in and scoring once. Bauer singled in Norm Siebern and Gil McDougald in the fifth, to extend his Series hitting streak to seventeen games, and then in the seventh hit a 400-foot (120 m), two-run homer into the left-field stands. Larsen went seven innings on a six-hitter, striking out eight with three walks. Duren closed the game for his first save, pitching two scoreless innings with three walks and a strikeout. Bob Rush pitched well for the Braves but his loss helped the Yanks get back into the Series.
