Presented is a 1989 World Series Athletics vs. Giants Graded Ticket from Oct. 28th. It was from Game 4 – Oak. A’s 4th Title/MVP – Stewart. The full ticket was enapsulated and graded PSA NM-MT 8.

In Game 4, the A’s led from the first batter of the game on as Rickey Henderson’s home run set the tone. Kevin Mitchell’s homer would bring the Giants closer as they cut an 8–0 deficit to 8–6 in two innings. But it would prove to be too little too late for San Francisco as they would lose 9–6.

This was also Candlestick Park’s final World Series game. The Giants’ four subsequent National League pennants have come since their move to Oracle Park, in 2002, 2010, 2012 and 2014 (with the last three appearances also ending in World Series championships).

Out of respect for the Loma Prieta earthquake victims, the Oakland Athletics chose not to celebrate their World Series victory with champagne, as is normally customary for the winning team in the World Series.

The 1989 World Series was the championship series of Major League Baseball’s (MLB) 1989 season.
