(LOT 351)
1951 World Series Game 2 Ticket Stub Yankees 3-Giants 1 Oct. 5th - Mantle 1st World Series Hit/Injured PSA 3 (MK)

JUST THE BEGINNING!!!... Game 2 marked the first hit for Mickey Mantle as he led off the game with a single and then scored on a single from Gil McDougald. In the fifth, however, as Mantle and DiMaggio converged on a pop fly, Mantle caught a cleat on an outfield drain, twisting his knee and ending his first World Series. Offered here is a ticket stub from that fateful game that has been encased and graded 3 VG (MK) with this ticket owner's scoring and date. The Yankees would win the game, but this was the beginning of Mantle's battle with nagging injuries that would plague him for the remainder of his career.

MIN BID $200
