Chicago Cubs ticket stub issued for the historic Game 3 of the 1932 World Series in which Babe Ruth "called" his home run in the fifth inning. This is one of the most desirable of all World Series ticket stubs and a requisite for any advanced ticket or Babe Ruth collection. Whether or not Ruth actually pointed to the center field bleachers before hitting his famous home run has been debated for decades, but it remains one of the most memorable moments in baseball history, and "Ruth's Called Shot" is so ingrained in popular culture that even non-fans are familiar with the reference. The ticket stub (2.25x3.75") displays a few light-to-moderate creases throughout and a tiny stain in the lower right corner.
