1947 World Series Dodgers Yankees Game 4 Ticket Stub LAVAGETTO BREAKS UP NO HITTER

Entering Game 4, New York held a 2-1 Series advantage, and starter Bill Bevens was on the cusp of history, protecting a no-hitter with just one out to go in the ninth. The game took a dramatic turn when Brooklyn sent Cookie Lavagetto to the plate as a pinch hitter for Eddie Stanky.

Lavagetto delivered a two-run hit, scoring Al Gionfriddo and Eddie Miksis; both of whom Bevens had walked to give the Dodgers a one-run victory. It was a textbook reminder of the cardinal rule: never put the potential winning run on base intentionally. The moment carries an added layer of poignancy in hindsight, as that clutch hit turned out to be the final major league at-bat of Lavagetto's career, and neither he nor Bevens would ever appear in another big-league game. With the Series knotted up, the two clubs headed into a winner-take-all stretch, trading wins as the tension mounted.

Offered is an actual ticket stub from that game.  VG-EX condition in our opinion, but take a look at the scans to determine for yourself and feel free to ask any questions.
