Original ticket from Opening Day, April 5, 1993, when the New York Yankees crushed the Cleveland Indians 9–1 at Cleveland Stadium. It was the Yankees’ first game under new manager Buck Showalter and a dominant debut for ace Jimmy Key, who threw eight strong innings, allowing just three hits and one run.

Danny Tartabull homered in his first game as a Yankee, Mike Stanley (Nokes) launched a three-run shot, and Pat Kelly went 3-for-4 with a homer, double, and three RBIs. Cleveland’s lone run came on a sacrifice fly from Sandy Alomar Jr., but Charles Nagy was tagged for 11 hits and seven earned runs in 5.2 innings.

This ticket represents the final Opening Day ever held at old Cleveland Stadium before the team moved to Jacobs Field in 1994—making it a meaningful piece of franchise history.
