Item History & Price
1979 World Series Game 1 Ticket Stub - Pittsburgh Pirates Vs Baltimore Orioles. Shipped with USPS First Class Package. Game 1 was originally scheduled for Tuesday, October 9 but was postponed due to a wintry mix of rain and snow.[9] When it was played the following night, the first-pitch temperature of 41 °F (5 °C) was the coldest in the history of the Fall Classic until it was eclipsed 18 years later in Game 4 of the 1997 World Series. A steady rain that fell throughout t...he contest also factored into the six total errors, three committed by each team.[10] All five Orioles runs were scored in the first inning; two on a throwing error by second baseman Phil Garner, followed by one on a wild pitch by starter Bruce Kison and the final two on a Doug DeCinces home run. A pair of RBIs each for Garner (two-out single in the sixth) and Willie Stargell (groundout in the fourth, leadoff homer in the eighth) sparked a Pirates comeback that fell a run short.
