Offered is a 1932 World Series Game 4 ticket stub from Wrigley Field, when the New York Yankees clinched their fourth World Series title over the Chicago Cubs. It was also the final World Series contest for Hall of Fame New York Yankees outfielder Babe Ruth. The red, blue and green ticket stub on white cardstock features an illustration of a pair of bear cubs on the back, with one cub at bat and the other catching. The Yankees won Game 4, and the 1932 World Series, with a 13-6 decision over the Cubs. Ruth got his last World Series hit, a single, in the seventh. A record 13 future Hall of Famers played in this Series, with three other future Hall of Famers also participating – umpire Bill Klem; Yankee's manager Joe McCarthy; and Cubs manager Rogers Hornsby. It was also the first in which both teams wore uniforms with numbers on the backs of the shirts.
