Original ticket stub from the September 27, 1980 game at Wrigley Field, when the Chicago Cubs defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 2–0.
This game was memorable as rookie pitcher Randy Martz earned his first Major League win, combining with Dick Tidrow for a two-hit shutout. The defending World Series champion Pirates featured future Hall of Famer Willie Stargell, who appeared as a pinch hitter, along with All-Stars Bill Madlock and Omar Moreno.
A great collectible from the closing weeks of the 1980 season and the end of the “We Are Family” Pirates era, played at historic Wrigley Field before just over 15,000 fans.
