Why This Ticket Matters
On June 22, 1947, the New York Yankees hosted the Detroit Tigers at Yankee Stadium before a crowd of 53,765.
Yogi Berra homered off Al Benton for the fifth home run of his major-league career, helping New York win 6–5. It was an early flash of the power that would make Berra one of the defining catchers of his generation.
Berra finished with 358 career home runs, three American League Most Valuable Player Awards, and membership on ten World Series championship teams. This ticket captures the first full season of that remarkable trajectory.
