Grover Cleveland Alexander was well past his prime in 1926, and he spent much of Game 7 sitting in the visitor's bullpen at Yankee Stadium. But the future Hall of Famer was called on to pitch in the bottom of the seventh with the bases loaded and the Cardinals leading by a run. He struck out Tony Lazzeri, another Hall of Famer, and then shut down the Yankees in the last two innings to help St. Louis win its first World Series. Babe Ruth homered in this game, setting the mark for most home runs in a seven-game series (which still stands). Ruth later made history in the bottom of the 9th, becoming the first (and only) player in World Series history to be caught stealing for the final out of the World Series.
Offered here is a rare ticket stub to the historic 1926 World Series Game 7. Historical, and very hard to find – especially in this condition – the 1926 World Series Game 7 ticket stub is one of the most elusive yet important tickets in the collecting hobby. This ticket has been encapsulated and graded an EX-MT 6 by PSA/DNA (19228199).
