The ticket stub from the October 2, 1965, showdown between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Milwaukee Braves is a captivating relic from an unforgettable Dodgers season. This particular stub, in remarkable condition with no major flaws or tears, holds a sense of nostalgia and history. It features the seat details—aisle 16, box G, seat 5—alongside the original ticket price of $3.50. On that Saturday at Dodger Stadium, the Dodgers squared off against the Braves with the excitement of a pennant race in the air. Sandy Koufax, already a legend, took the mound and delivered a stunning performance, pitching all nine innings. He allowed only four hits and a single earned run while racking up an impressive 13 strikeouts. With Koufax’s mastery, the Dodgers triumphed 3-1, a crucial win on their path to clinching the National League pennant and, soon after, the World Series title. This game perfectly captured the fierce spirit and talent that defined their 1965 championship season.
