Brewers fan holds onto 1982 World Series ticket stub for 44 years
Bob Cummings kept two $18 ticket stubs for 44 years, and rising World Series prices will keep him watching the Brewers from home.
As the Milwaukee Brewers prepare for their first World Series appearance since 1982, fan Bob Cummings is reflecting on the team's return to the championship stage after 44 years.
In 1982, Cummings secured two tickets to Game 5 of the World Series at Milwaukee County Stadium, where the Brewers faced the Louis Cardinals.
Preserving his original ticket stubs for 44 years as a 'Timeless Ticket,' Cummings still holds the $18 items. "They're just memories that I can't let go of," he said.
Despite his deep connection, Cummings will not attend the games in person; mobility challenges and rising ticket costs prevent him from cheering from the stands.
The 44-year wait could end with a championship, a milestone Cummings views as fulfilling the hope he felt attending Game 5 in 1982.
