Ticket stub for a grandstand seat at the military benefit exhibition between the New York Yankees and Washington Senators at Yankee Stadium on August 23, 1942, which raised $80,000 for the Army and Navy Relief Funds during World War II. The game is remembered for a matchup between Walter Johnson and Babe Ruth: the 54-year-old hurler threw 17 pitches to the 47-year-old slugger, who slammed the final pitch over the right field fence (just foul). Playing to the crowd, Ruth circled the bases anyway and left the field to a rousing ovation. In fine condition.
