1948 World Series, Gm5 Stub ⭐ Satchel Paige, Only WS Game
This is one of the most amazing pieces of memorabilia I've ever seen.
It captures the pinnacle of Satchel Paige's meteoric, yet transit MLB career as a real baseball artifact.
Satchel Paige burst onto the MLB scene with the Indians in 1948 after dominating the Negro League for more than a decade.
He helped lead the Indians to the franchise's only WS Championship in 1948 and this ticket represents his only WS appearance.
The game ended with Boston beating Cleveland 11-5. Bob Feller took the loss for the Indians, while Warren Spahn got the win.

This is only the third historical relic game ticket in my collection.
This one is so significant, that I get chills when I look at it.
This ticket marks Satchel Paige's first, last, and only World Series appearance, which occurred during his rookie season.
Aside from becoming the first Black player to pitch in a World Series game, he helped lead the Indians to their first and only World Championship.
One feature that I really like is the image of Chief Wahoo on the ticket.
The Indians officially introduced Chief Wahoo in 1947.
