This full ticket from the May 17, 1956, game between the New York Giants and the Milwaukee Braves is a special artifact, capturing a day when the Braves showcased their formidable talent. This game, played at the iconic Polo Grounds in New York, saw the Braves come out on top with a 7-3 victory. Future Hall of Famer Warren Spahn took the mound for Milwaukee, delivering a brilliant 9 inning performance and holding the Giants to just three runs, a testament to his dominant pitching style that made him one of the most celebrated pitchers of his era. This ticket not only highlights a memorable win for the Braves but also represents a final chapter of sorts, as the Giants would leave New York for San Francisco just two years later. Both Willie Mays and Hank Aaron recorded 2 hits in this game, capturing a thrilling moment from the golden age of baseball, steeped in both history and nostalgia.
