A wartime World Series ticket from the opening victory of the Yankees’ 1943 championship.
Why This Ticket Matters
On October 5, 1943, the New York Yankees defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 4–2 in Game 1 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium.
Spud Chandler pitched a complete game, and Joe Gordon homered as New York took the first step toward winning the Series in five games. The matchup was a rematch of the 1942 World Series, which St. Louis had won.
This ticket comes from a Fall Classic shaped by World War II, when military service left both clubs without prominent stars and made the championship a distinct artifact of its era.
