The subject of debate for decades, Babe Ruth’s “called shot” in the 1932 World Series has gained popular support as truthful, largely because the Baltimore-born slugger craved public adoration and was quite capable of such a boastful feat. Encapsulated and assessed “Authentic” by PSA, this ticket stub was issued at Chicago’s Wrigley Field for that legendary and epic “play within a play.” The “Game 3” voucher granted its bearer a bleacher vantage point possibly within a few feet of the fabled home run’s destination. Printed seating/event details are highlighted by former Cub President William Veeck, Sr.’s facsimile signature. The clout (his second that afternoon) was Ruth’s 15th and final Fall Classic shot, which stood as a record until 1964.
