Boston Celtics ticket stub issued for Game 7 of the 1965 Eastern Division Finals against the Philadelphia 76ers at the Boston Garden on April 15. In a thrilling Game 7, John Havlicek tipped away Hal Greer's inbound pass in the closing seconds to preserve the Celtics' 110-109 series-clinching victory. Johnny Most's frantic radio call, "Havlicek stole the ball! It's all over! It's all over! Johnny Havlicek is being mobbed by the fans! It's all over! Johnny Havlicek stole the ball!" is remembered today as one of the most iconic calls in sports broadcasting history. The ticket stub (1.5 x 1.5 inches) is in Fair condition overall due to creasing and a pencil mark on the back.
