Boston Red Sox full ticket (1.75 x 5 inches) issued for the A. L. East tiebreaker game on October 2, 1978, at Fenway Park against the New York Yankees. Graded POOR 1 (MK) by PSA (submitted by REA), this is the only example graded at this level, with just two higher (only four graded examples on the PSA pop report). With the Yankees down 2-0 in the seventh inning, light-hitting Bucky Dent delivered a home run over the Green Monster to give the Yankees a 3-2 lead. They would go on to to win the game 5-4, clinching the division. Reserve $100.
