Used press ticket admitting one to the press box of Ebbets Field during the 1920 World Series. The first Series after the 1919 scandal the 1920 series pitted the Cleveland Indians against the Brooklyn Dodgers and was an exciting one lasting seven games and won by Cleveland on their home field (our last catalog auction featured Tris Speaker's game-used bat from this game). The 1920 series featured the only triple play in a World Series as well as the first grand slam in the Fall Classic. Three of the Series' seven games were played in Brooklyn two of which were won by the Brooklyn Robins. The stub itself is in VG condition with a significant crease at the right edge along with surface and edge wear. A large spot of paper loss is visible on the reverse near the crease. Still this is a scarce and desirable piece from an early World Series.
