Displayed is an unused, full ticket to the 1964 World Series Game 7 at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. The New York Yankees were facing the St. Louis Cardinals, and Mickey Mantle hit his 18th World Series home run, still the all-time MLB record, as Mantle's Yankees fell 7-5 in the Series' deciding game. Mantle played his entire 18-year career with the Yankees, playing in 65 World Series games in his career, spread out over a dozen appearances by his Yankees in the Fall Classic. In the regular season, Mantle's 536 home runs are the most by any switch-hitter in history. Mickey was a 3-time AL MVP and a Triple Crown winner. He was a 7-time World Champion. Mantle hit three homers in the 1964 World Series, as he entered the Series tied with Babe Ruth at 15 home runs for the most in Major League history. So, Mantle set a new record for lifetime World Series homers three times in the '64 Series, with his 16th homer in Game 3, his 17th homer in Game 6, and his 18th homer in Game 7. For his 18th Series home run, Mantle hit a 3-run shot to deep left center against World Series MVP Bob Gibson, who hung on to win a complete game victory. Currently, Mantle's 18 World Series homers have a 3-homer lead over Ruth's 15, and in third place is Yogi Berra, with 12 - a Yankee monopoly. The offered full ticket measures 2x6.75". In part, the ticket reads: 1964 World's Championship Games - Busch Stadium - St. Louis Game 7. The front of the ticket is clean and appears close to EX, while the back has some mild staining. The ticket has been encapsulated and PSA Certified as FULL AUTHENTIC.
