Ticket takers make a nice score, when you take possession of this 1956 World Series Game 6 ticket stub. A dramatic seven-game event, this subway series featured the New York Yankees versus the Brooklyn Dodgers. Nostalgically remembered as "The Boys of Summer", the Dodgers won their first, last and only World Series championship while calling Brooklyn home, by beating the Yankees in the 1955 Fall Classic. The Yankees exacted their revenge in 1956, coming out on top of series loaded with memorable moments. The Dodgers scored nineteen runs while winning Games 1 and 2. After that, crossing the plate got tough for the Boys in Blue, and then managed just six more runs over the last five games. Yankees righty Don Larsen had the greatest day of career in Game 5, stifling the Dodgers with a perfect game. In Game 6, both the Yankees starter Bob Turley and the Dodgers starter Clem Labine went the distance in a 1-0 Dodgers win, that took ten innings to complete. The game-winning run came in the bottom of the 10th at Ebbets Field, when Jackie Robinson singled home Jim Gilliam, who had walked and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by "Pee Wee" Reese. This was Robinson's final World Series hit and RBI. PSA has encapsulated this big game ticket stub with an Authentic designation.
