Lot # 1609: 1973 World Series Game 7 Clincher Full Ticket - Oakland Athletics vs. New York Mets - Reggie Jackson 1st World Series Home Run & MVP! - PSA NM-MT 8

Revisit the Oakland Athletics dynasty of the early 1970s, with the viewing of this 1973 World Series Game 7 full ticket, featuring the A's versus the New York Mets. It was a hard-fought Series that went the distance, with the A's coming out on top. The offered ticket is from the clinching game, which was played at Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum, on October 21, 1973. The fireworks were provided by Bert Campaneris and Reggie Jackson, who both hit two-run homers in the bottom of the third inning. Jackson's blast was his first World Series home run, and it turned out to be the game-winning hit. Having been named the AL MVP for 1973, Mr. October was also named WS MVP for this dramatic Fall Classic. Ken Holtzman got the win, and his Mets counterpart was John Matlack, who wound up on the wrong end of a 5-2 final score. A's reliever Darold Knowles got the save in this Game 7, and he became the first pitcher to ever appear in all seven games of a World Series. PSA has graded this well-preserved ticket NM-MT 8.
