A ticket from Yogi Berra’s final major-league game and the brief Mets chapter that closed his playing career.

Why This Ticket Matters

On May 9, 1965, Yogi Berra appeared for the New York Mets against the Milwaukee Braves in the first game of a doubleheader at Shea Stadium.

Berra went 0-for-4 as Milwaukee won 8–2. It was only his fourth game as a Met and the final playing appearance of a career spent almost entirely with the New York Yankees.

This ticket captures an unusual farewell: a Yankees icon finishing on the field in a Mets uniform before continuing his long baseball life as a coach and manager.
