Offered is a full ticket from the 1961 World Series Game 3, played on October 7, 1961 at Crosley Field in Cincinnati, Ohio. The first World Series game in 21 years to be played in Cincinnati, the New York Yankees won game 3 over the Reds, 3-2, thanks to Yogi Berra’s World Series record 71st World Series hit. In the top of the seventh inning, Berra blooped a ball into short right field that neither second baseman Elio Chacón nor right fielder Frank Robinson called before the two collided, allowing the ball to drop as Tony Kubek scored.

The Yankees won the 1961 World Series in five games to earn their 19th championship. This was the year of the "M&M" boys, Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle, who spent the summer chasing the ghost of Babe Ruth and his 60–home run season of 1927. Mantle finished with 54 while Maris set the record of 61 on the last day of the season. With all the attention surrounding the home run race, the World Series seemed almost anticlimactic. This ticket has been encapsulated and authenticated by PSA (42847731) and has been graded GOOD 2.
