Scarce ticket stub issued for Game 6 of the 1919 World Series between the Chicago White Sox and Cincinnati Reds held at Redland Field on October 7th. Graded GOOD 2 by PSA. This stub, which is the "Rain Check" portion of the ticket, is one of only thirteen 1919 World Series Game 6 stubs listed in the PSA Population Report and just the fourth example we have ever offered. Game 6 was somewhat of an anomaly because the White Sox won the game and appeared to be trying. White Sox pitcher Dickie Ker, who was not one of the eight Chicago players who conspired to "throw" the Series, had to overcome two errors, one by shortstop Swede Risberg and the other by center fielder Hap Felsch (both of whom were in on the "fix") in defeating the Reds, 5-4 in ten innings. The victory was Kerr's second of the Series, which the Reds ultimately won in eight games (the Series was a best of nine).
