1917 World Series GAME 2 NY Giants Chicago White Sox JOE JACKSON Ticket Stub PSA

Description: This is a sale for a VERY VERY SPECIAL 100% authentic & original ticket STUB in POOR condition for the NEW YORK GIANTS at the CHICAGO WHITE SOX for GAME 2 of the 1917 WORLD SERIES at Comiskey Park in Chicago, IL. THIS IS A VERY SIGNIFICANT TICKET, for a host of reasons. 1) This is ONE of ONLY THREE ticket stubs for this game known to exist. 2) This is the 2nd Highest Graded ticket known to exist. 3) This is a Shoeless Joe Jackson hit & RBI World Series game!!! 4) The Series featured many Hall of Famer's including: the Sox's - Eddie Collins, Red Faber, & Ray Schalk and the Giants' - John McGraw (manager). 5) The Series also featured many players from the future 1919 Black Sox scandal. 6) This is a legit actual ticket, not a proof!!! 7) The ticket has been authenticated and encapsulated by PSA with a Grade of Poor 1 and code # 63374392. 8) I'm selling this materially cheaper than other 1917s out here on eBay and I have some price wiggle. Drop me a message and let's get this gem into a wo/mancave who will appreciate this piece of history! CONDITION: the most notable flaw is the scrapbook paper that was left on the ticket. Wish the owner would have soaked the ticket prior to paying PSA to authenticate/encapsulate. Happy to open the case up, soak it, and resend to PSA for re-encapsulation for a cost. The ticket would certainly be regraded as a Good 2 and maybe even a Very Good 3. Game/Series Highlights include: In the 1917 World Series, the Chicago White Sox beat the New York Giants four games to two. The Series was played against the backdrop of World War I, which dominated the American newspapers that year and next. The strong Chicago White Sox club had finished the 1917 season with a 100–54 record: their only 100-win season in franchise history as of 2019. The Sox's next World Series winner in 2005 would finish the regular season with a 99–63 record. The Sox won Game 1 of the Series in Chicago 2–1 behind a complete game by Eddie Cicotte. Happy Felsch hit a home run in the fourth inning that provided the winning margin. The Sox beat the Giants in Game 2 7–2 behind another complete game effort by Red Faber to take a 2–0 lead in the Series. Back in New York for Game 3, Cicotte again threw a complete game, but the Sox could not muster a single run against Giants' starter Rube Benton and lost 2–0. In Game 4 the Sox were shut out again 5–0 by Ferdie Schupp. Faber threw another complete game, but the Series was even at 2–2 going back to Chicago. Reb Russell started Game 5 in Chicago, but only faced three batters before giving way to Cicotte. Going into the bottom of the seventh inning, Chicago was down 5–2, but they rallied to score three in the seventh and three in the eighth to win 8–5. Faber pitched the final two innings for the win. In Game 6 the Sox took an early 3–0 lead and on the strength of another complete-game victory from Faber (his third of the Series) won 4–2 and clinched the World Championship. Eddie Collins was the hitting hero, batting .409 over the six game series while Cicotte and Faber combined to pitch 50 out of a total 52 World Series innings to lead the staff. The decisive game underscored the Giants' post-season frustrations, featuring a famous rundown in which Giants' 3rd Baseman Heinie Zimmerman futilely chased the speedy Eddie Collins toward home plate with what would be the Series-winning run. Catcher Bill Rariden had run up the third base line to start a rundown, expecting Pitcher Rube Benton or 1st Baseman Walter Holke to cover the plate. However, neither of them budged, forcing Zimmerman to chase Collins while pawing helplessly in the air with the ball in an attempt to tag him. Two years before the issue of baseball betting reached its peak, Zimmerman found himself having to publicly deny purposely allowing the run to score, i.e. to deny that he had "thrown" the game. In truth, McGraw blamed Benton and Holke for failing to cover the plate. A quote often attributed to Zim, but actually invented by writer Ring Lardner some years later, was that when asked about the incident Zim replied, "Who the hell was I supposed to throw to, Klem (umpire Bill Klem, who was working the plate)?" Conventional wisdom has it that Collins was much faster than Zimmerman, but existing photos of the play show that Zimmerman was only a step or two behind Collins, who actually slid across the plate while Zim jumped over him to avoid trampling him. Zimmerman would eventually be banned for life due to various accusations of corruption. The White Sox, who were essentially dismantled following the 1920 season by baseball commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis due to the Black Sox Scandal in the 1919 Series, did not make it to another Series until 1959, and did not win another World Series until 2005. Game 2 Summary, Shoeless Joe Jackson's two-run single capped a five-run fourth inning for the White Sox, who knocked out Giants starter Ferdie Schupp in the second inning. This is a MUST HAVE piece for the biggest of Sox, Giants, & MLB fans. NOTE - Tickets do shift inside PSA cases.
