A ticket from the game that gave St. Louis a two-games-to-one lead in the 1968 World Series.

Why This Ticket Matters

Game 3 moved the 1968 World Series to Tiger Stadium on October 5 after Detroit and St. Louis split the first two games.

The Cardinals answered an early Al Kaline home run with a three-run homer by Tim McCarver and another three-run drive by Orlando Cepeda. St. Louis won 7–3 behind Ray Washburn and Joe Hoerner.

Detroit eventually rallied to win the Series in seven games, but this ticket captures the afternoon when the defending champion Cardinals seized the advantage.
