A World Series ticket from the victory that sent Pittsburgh home one win from the 1960 championship.
Why This Ticket Matters
On October 10, 1960, the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the New York Yankees 5–2 in Game 5 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium.
The Pirates scored three runs in the second inning and never surrendered the lead. Harvey Haddix earned the victory, and Roy Face recorded the final outs as Pittsburgh took a three-games-to-two advantage.
This ticket comes from the famously uneven Series that produced one of baseball’s greatest finales three days later, when Bill Mazeroski’s walk-off home run won Game 7 for Pittsburgh.
