A full ticket from a 12-inning, 26-run game featuring Mickey Mantle and the defending champion Yankees.
Why This Ticket Matters
On July 25, 1953, the New York Yankees visited the Detroit Tigers at Briggs Stadium in a game that turned into an extended offensive battle.
New York prevailed 15–11 in 12 innings. The full ticket comes from the heart of Mickey Mantle’s third major-league season, when he was already a central figure on a Yankees club pursuing its fifth consecutive World Series championship.
Although this is not a single-milestone game, its appeal rests on format, era, star power, and the extraordinary score. Surviving full tickets from regular-season Mantle appearances carry a different presence than the more common detached stub.
