1914 World Series Press Pin Sold at Auction
The 1914 World Series, which was between the Philadelphia Athletics and Boston Braves, was the first four game sweep in World Series history. The Braves were the underdogs of the 1914 season, as they were in last place on July 15, but began a winning streak that starters Bill James and Dick Rudolph are credited for contributing to. The Braves earned the name “Miracle Braves” in 1914.

1919 World Series Ticket Stub Game 2
Extraordinary high-grade ticket stub from Game 2 of the 1919 World Series, held at Cincinnati’s Redland Field. Game 2 of the 1919 World Series witnessed another lackluster effort by Chicago’s infamous “eight men out” as they conspired to “throw” the Series to the Reds. The main culprit in this game was pitcher Lefty Williams. Although Williams made a better attempt to conceal his deliberate ineffectiveness than did Eddie Cicotte in Game 1, the result was the same. Williams allowed just four hits, but his six walks helped the Reds score all the runs they would need in a 4-2 win against the punchless White Sox. Stub measures approximately 4.25″ x 2″. Few, if any, 1919 World Series ticket stubs have survived in near mint condition, but this example comes close. Only two very small horizontal surface wrinkles extend from right border and one would be hard pressed to find a finer example. Sold for $3,010.

1918 World Series Ticket Stub — With PSA/DNA Authentication
1918 World Series ticket stub featuring the Chicago Cubs and the Boston Red Sox. This ticket, dated 7 September, is for game three, won by the Red Sox over the Cubs, 2 to 1. Carl Mays was the winning pitcher. The Series was held early in September because World War I ended the regular season prematurely on September 1. Game four of this series was Babe Ruth’s final World Series appearance as a pitcher. Though there were concerns that the series was fixed, the real cheating problem didn’t erupt until the Black Sox Scandal of the 1919 series. Ticket from section N, seat 327 in Comiskey Park measures approximately 2” x 2.5”. Encapsulated by PSA/DNA. Sold for $1,720.
