This is a ticket stub for the game played at Chunichi Stadium on November 1, 1955 between the New York Yankees and the Chunichi Dragons. Only one game of the sixteen Tour contests was played at this venue, and a specially designed ticket was issued that differs in design from those necessary to gain admission at the other locales. Thus, this ticket is scarce. In fact, it is the first we have seen of this type. The Yankees prevailed in this game by a score of 7-0 with Johnny Kucks picking up the victory. Hall of Famer Shigeru Sugishita was the losing pitcher.

Size: 5 5/16" x 2 7/8"

Condition: Ex
