A World Series ticket from the final game played by Joe DiMaggio.
Why This Ticket Matters
On October 10, 1951, the New York Yankees defeated the New York Giants 4–3 in Game 6 at Yankee Stadium, clinching their third consecutive World Series championship.
The game was also the final appearance of Joe DiMaggio’s career. After 13 major-league seasons—all with the Yankees—DiMaggio formally announced his retirement that December, closing a career that included nine World Series championships, three Most Valuable Player Awards and his unmatched 56-game hitting streak.
This ticket therefore marks two endings at once: the conclusion of the 1951 World Series and the final game of one of baseball’s defining icons. It is a tangible piece of the transition from the DiMaggio era to the emerging age of Mickey Mantle.
