This ticket stub from the June 21, 1955, game between the New York Yankees and Kansas City Athletics offers a vibrant slice of baseball lore. The Yankees claimed a 6-2 victory that day, and the stub itself stands out in a radiant pink, displaying its seat location—section 15, box 55a, seat 7—with only a slight tear along the bottom edge. In this game, Mickey Mantle gave fans a thrill in the first inning, going 1-for-4 and smashing a solo home run—his 101st career homer. It’s a remarkable piece from one of Mantle’s peak seasons, brimming with mid-century baseball magic.
