Presented here is a full ticket from the 1924 World Series between the Washington Senators and New York Giants. Named the third greatest World Series in 2020 by ESPN, the series is noted for being the second World Series-deciding game in Major League history to be decided in extra innings, with the Senators winning in dramatic fashion, with the game tied 3-3 in the bottom of the 12th, when Senators outfielder Earl McNeely hit a bad-hop ball past Giants third baseman Fred Lindstrom that allowed Muddy Ruel to score the series-winning run.
The 9 x 3-inch full ticket was good for Games 1, 2, and 6 of the 1924 World Series. All of the games were played at Griffith Stadium in Washington, D.C. The tickets are pink paper with the gate information and entrance location located at the top of the ticket. Below the entrance, information is the row, section, and seating location. “American League Baseball Club Clark Griffith Stadium 1924 World’s Championship” in bold black type appears below the seating information, with a rain check that features the signature of Cark Griffith, the President of the Washington Senators. “6”, “2”, and “1” appear on either side of the ticket in black and red to indicate the specific game. The price of each ticket? $3.30. A warning is printed on the back in regards to the responsibilities of the ticket holder and rules of the stadium, and there are four hole-punches. This ticket has been encapsulated and authenticated by PSA (51397142), who also gave the ticket the grade of FULL AUTHENTIC.
