Why This Ticket Matters

Game 4 of the 1959 World Series was played October 5 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, with the Dodgers leading the Chicago White Sox two games to one.

Los Angeles built a 4–0 lead, but Chicago tied the game in the seventh on a Sherm Lollar three-run homer. Gil Hodges answered in the eighth with a solo home run, and Larry Sherry protected the 5–4 victory.

The crowd of 92,650 reflected the enormous scale of the Coliseum. The Dodgers went on to win the Series in six games, delivering Los Angeles its first World Series championship.
