Graded Authentic by PSA. Before just 13,117 spectators at Pittsburgh's Three Rivers Stadium, Roberto Clemente laced a double off of Jon Matlack of the New York Mets. The extra base hit was the 3,000th and final hit of Clemente's career, as he unexpectedly perished in an airplane crash just 61 days later. This ticket stub is a seldom-encountered relic from that contest. The pink "Field Box" voucher is crease-free with a solid perimeter and bold printing.
