1948 World Series — Satchel Paige's Only World Series Appearance — PSA 1 PRESS PASS

A press credential from the 1948 World Series between the Cleveland Indians and Boston Braves at Cleveland Municipal Stadium. The PSA label identifies this pass as valid for Games 3, 4, and 5, played October 8–10, 1948.

These Cleveland games encompass two landmark moments in baseball history: Larry Doby's Game 4 home run, the first by a Black player in World Series competition, and Satchel Paige's Game 5 relief appearance, his only World Series appearance and the first by a Black pitcher. Cleveland went on to win the championship in Game 6 at Boston.

The photographed holder identifies this item as a press PASS and assigns PSA 1. This is a multi-game credential rather than an individual Game 5 admission ticket.
