Here is a 1919 World Series ticket Game 2 we have sold in the past:
1919 World Series Ticket Stub Game 2
The 1919 World Series matched the American League champion Chicago White Sox against the National League champion Cincinnati Reds. Although most World Series have been of the best-of-seven format, the 1919 World Series was a best-of-nine series (along with 1903, 1920, and 1921). Baseball decided to try the best-of-nine format partly to increase popularity of the sport and partly to generate more revenue. The events of the series are often associated with the Black Sox Scandal, when several members of the Chicago franchise conspired with gamblers, allegedly led by Arnold Rothstein, to throw the World Series games. The 1919 World Series was the last World Series to take place without a Commissioner of Baseball in place. In 1920, the various franchise owners installed Kenesaw Mountain Landis as the first “Commissioner of Baseball.”
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.
