Undaunted by an opponent with 111 regular-season wins, 23-year-old phenom Willie Mays set the tone for the New York Giants’ sweep of heavily favored Cleveland as he sprinted to the cavernous depths of the Polo Grounds to snare Vic Wertz’ long fly ball in the opener of the 1954 Fall Classic. Issued in Harlem for that afternoon’s World Series opener, this ticket stub is encapsulated and assessed “Authentic” by PSA. The colorful voucher features printed seating/event details and Giants team logos.
