1979 World Series Ticket Stubs - Three Rivers Stadium

This is a collection of four original ticket stubs from the 1979 World Series, held at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh, where the Pittsburgh Pirates faced the American League Champion Baltimore Orioles. The set includes stubs for Game 3, two stubs for Game 4, and one stub for Game 5. Physically, the tickets are vertical rectangles printed on cardstock with a red, white, and blue color scheme, featuring the iconic '76th World Series' logo in the center. Each stub displays key logistical data including Gate (C or D), Section (662 or 606), Row E, and specific seat numbers. They are marked with a total price of $10.00, which reflects the general admission reserved seating on the sixth level. A small illustrations of a Pirate mascot is visible near the bottom. In terms of condition, these are 'stubs' rather than 'full tickets,' meaning they were torn upon stadium entry. There is visible surface wear, slight creasing on some edges, and minor foxing/discoloration consistent with their age (dating from October 1979). The printing remains legible and vibrant, displaying the signature of Commissioner Bowie K. Kuhn. These items are highly significant as the 1979 series saw the 'We Are Family' Pirates win the championship, making these specific remnants from games 3 through 5 essential pieces of baseball history.
