June 28 1970 ticket which admitted the bearer to both games of a Cincinnati/Pittsburgh doubleheader the Pirates sweeping both games. In the second game Al Oliver slugged the ballpark's last home run and nearly 41 000 spectators helped end the game with a standing ovation. After the game a helicopter delivered the field's home plate to the new Three Rivers Stadium where the Pirates and Reds would square off once again this time resulting in a victory for the Reds. The full ticket is in VG condition despite presenting far more strongly some light wrinking reducing the technical grade. Corners and edges are very strong as is the color and printing of the ticket. An outstanding document of one of baseball's lost ballparks.
