1998 Mark McGwire 65th Homerun Ticket Stub Brewers vs Cardinals County Stadium

1998 Mark McGwire 65th Home Run — Original Ticket Stub — Brewers vs. Cardinals, County Stadium

A genuine piece of baseball history: an original ticket stub from the game in which Mark McGwire hit his 65th home run of the 1998 season — part of the most electrifying home run chase in baseball history. McGwire's 1998 battle with Sammy Sosa captivated the nation and is widely credited with revitalizing interest in Major League Baseball following the 1994 strike. McGwire ultimately finished the season with 70 home runs, shattering Roger Maris's long-standing record of 61.

Every game McGwire homered that season was a historic event, and ticket stubs from those specific games are among the most sought-after baseball ephemera from the era. This stub from the Brewers vs. Cardinals game at County Stadium in Milwaukee is a tangible connection to one of sport's most memorable seasons.
