Tracy Stallard was the pitcher who allowed Roger Maris' 61 home run, the blast which broke Babe Ruth's 34-year-old single-season record of 60 HRs. This stub from that game is encapsulated by PSA as AUTHENTIC. It has several creases and moderate paper loss on the front and back. Due to this paper loss, it appears that some of the numbers on the front have been enhanced with black marker. This ticket is a significant memento from one of the biggest moments in baseball history.
