The darlings of the Midwest and annual leaders in National League attendance, the Milwaukee Braves claimed the 1957 Fall Classic and appeared primed to repeat as they pummeled the New York Yankees, 13-5 to go up two games to none in the 1958 Fall Classic. Encapsulated and Graded EX-MT 6 by PSA, this full ticket was issued at County Stadium on October 2, 1958 for Game 2 of the ’58 World Series. The colorful voucher showcases decidedly sturdy edges/rounded corners and holds appeal on several fronts. Along with printed seating/event details, the voucher features “Laughing Brave” logos with a crown resting on the head of the Native American-themed mascot. Trumping the cosmetic attributes, this stands as a coveted October collectible as Mickey Mantle launched career World Series round trippers 10 and 11 that day. Though Mantle’s clouts went for naught and his club was to eventually fall behind, three games to one, the Yanks rebounded to become the first team since 1925 to overcome such a deficit.
