1953 Photograph of two million dollars worth of baseball tickets set to be burned in Pittsburgh. Because the Boston Braves moved to Milwaukee and it forced a change in the Pirates schedule, they had to burn ALL the tickets they had pre-printed for the season! An interesting image in great shape issued by the United Press and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well.
