This full ticket from the 1963 showdown between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Milwaukee Braves is a captivating piece from a golden season when the Dodgers were unstoppable. In this tight 2-1 victory, Sandy Koufax was a force on the mound, pitching 8.2 intense innings with six strikeouts. When he was unexpectedly pulled from the game, an infuriated Koufax famously hurled his glove into the dugout—a moment that speaks to his fierce competitive spirit.
The ticket itself is in remarkable condition, free from tears or signs of wear, with details of the original seat: aisle 45, box D, seat 2, and a ticket price of just $3.50. For collectors, it’s more than a simple ticket; it’s a memento from the Dodgers’ journey to their World Series triumph over the Yankees, an artifact of their rivalry with the Braves, and a snapshot of Koufax’s legendary career.
