1918 World Series ticket stub featuring the Chicago Cubs and the Boston Red Sox. This ticket, dated 7 September, is for game three, won by the Red Sox over the Cubs, 2 to 1. Carl Mays was the winning pitcher. The Series was held early in September because World War I ended the regular season prematurely on September 1. Game four of this series was Babe Ruth's final World Series appearance as a pitcher. Though there were concerns that the series was fixed, the real cheating problem didn't erupt until the Black Sox Scandal of the 1919 series. Ticket from section N, seat 327 in Comiskey Park measures approximately 2'' x 2.5''. Encapsulated by PSA/DNA.
