A 1938 World Series press pass tied to Lou Gehrig’s final appearance in the Fall Classic.

Why This Ticket Matters

The 1938 World Series matched the New York Yankees against the Chicago Cubs, with games played from October 5 through October 9 at Wrigley Field and Yankee Stadium.

New York swept the Series in four games to win its third consecutive championship. Lou Gehrig played in all four games, making this the final World Series—and final postseason appearance—of his career.

Unlike an ordinary admission ticket, this press pass represents the working media’s access to the championship. Its connection to the Yankees dynasty and Gehrig’s final Fall Classic gives it significance beyond the Series result itself.
