Ticket Stubs from Roberto Clemente’s Last 3 Games + a Related NLCS Program.
Lot 120. Ticket Stubs from Roberto Clemente’s Last 3 Games + a Related NLCS Program. Clemente’s Hall of Fame career came to a close in the 1972 N.L. Championship Series between the Pirates and Cincinnati. In five games, the Reds earned the right to play for the World Championship. Less than three months later, on Dec. 31, 1972, “the Great One” died in a plane crash en route to Nicaragua to deliver aid to earthquake victims. Clemente played his final three games at Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati. Offered here is a tick stub from each game. Clemente had a double in Game 3. In Game 4, he ruined Ross Grimsley’s chance for a perfect game by collecting the Pirates’ only two hits, including his final home run. A single in Game 5 was his final hit. The stubs grade ex-m for Game 3, ex for Game 4 and vg for Game 5. The accompanying unscored NLCS Cincinnati program is ex-m.
Winning Bid $148.
