Offered is a full ticket to Game 6 of the 1962 World Series at San Francisco’s Candlestick Park, a 5-2 Giants win over the New York Yankees on October 15, 1962. In a battle of left-handed starting pitchers, Billy Pierce outdueled Whitey Ford with a complete-game three-hitter as the Giants evened the series at three wins apiece. They struck first in the fourth when after a single and walk, an error on an attempted pickoff allowed a run to score, then Orlando Cepeda's double and Jim Davenport's single scored a run each. They added to their lead next inning on RBI singles by Felipe Alou and Cepeda. The Yankees' only runs came on a Maris home run in the fifth inning and an RBI single by Tony Kubek in the eighth inning after a one-out double.
