Description
When the all-time great performances in postseason history are discussed, Don Larsen’s perfect game against the Brooklyn Dodgers in Game 5 of the 1956 World Series is usually the first instance to be mentioned. Larsen shut down the Dodgers across all nine innings, masterfully negating the supreme talent of a lineup boasting four future Hall of Famers, the eight-time All-Star Gil Hodges, and a future National League batting champion in Carl Furillo. Mickey Mantle hit his eighth career postseason home run in this game, an eventual 2-0 Yankees victory. Presented is a ticket stub to the historic fifth game of the 1956 Fall Classic. This ticket has been encapsulated, authenticated and graded by PSA FR 1.5.
Also included in the lot, is an autographed 8×10 Don Larsen perfect game photo. He signed it in blue felt tip (“9”).
Lastly included in the lot is a 1955 World Series program. The program shows typical wear from storage, age and handling. The 1955 World Series matched the Brooklyn Dodgers against the New York Yankees, with the Dodgers winning the Series in seven games to capture their first championship in franchise history. It would be the only Series the Dodgers won while based in Brooklyn, as the team relocated to Los Angeles after the 1957 season.
