September 30, 1951, New York Giants Force Playoff w/Dodgers Ticket PSA Authentic
1951 was the year of the "Miracle of Coogan's Bluff," when the New York Giants, behind the first place Brooklyn Dodgers by 13.5 games on August 11, made a miraculous comeback to finish in a regular season tie with Brooklyn and force a two-out-of-three game National League pennant playoff, won by the Giants in the bottom of the 9th inning on Bobby Thomson's "Shot Heard 'Round the World" home run. What is offered is a reserved grandstand ticket stub to the Giants' last regular season game in '51, an away contest on Sunday Sept. 30th against the Boston Braves with New York entering the game tied for first place with the Dodgers, who were in Philadelphia to play the Phillies. The Giants that day were led by a Bobby Thomson home run and a key Monte Irvin RBI single and held a 3-1 lead going into the bottom of the 9th. The Giants' starter, Larry Jansen, went the distance to beat Boston 3-2. In the Dodgers' game, which had a later finish that day, Jackie Robinson made a bases loaded two out diving grab of an Eddie Waitkus line drive in the bottom of the 12th inning to keep the Dodgers in the game, and Robinson's homer in the 14th gave the Dodgers a 9-8 lead, and the Dodgers held on in the bottom of the 14th inning for the victory. The ticket stub measures approx. 1.25x2.25", and the stub has see-through tape over about one quarter of the right. The stub has been encapsulated and certified PSA AUTHENTIC.
