Historic ticket stub from Game 3 of the 1932 World Series held at Wrigley Field in Chicago on October 1. (Please note this ticket was accompanied by the program from the game, which is being offered as a separate lot in this auction.) Did he, or didn't he? That's the question that was asked after Game 3 of the 1932 World Series between the Yankees and Cubs. Did Babe Ruth point to the center-field bleachers right before hitting a home run to that exact spot, or was he pointing at pitcher Charlie Root? Ruth never said. This has long been regarded as one of the most desirable of all World Series tickets, not to mention a wonderful conversation piece. Graded FAIR 1.5 (MK) by PSA, the ticket stub (3.75 x 2.25 inches) has heavy creasing and pencil notations on the front.
