One of THEE coolest ticket stubs to come to light in a long time.
There are ZERO graded by PSA, so this possibly is the only one known, always possible there could be another though. But still maybe 1-2 out there, maybe.

On June 5, 1955, at Comiskey Park in Chicago, the Yankees battled the White Sox. In the fourth inning of the second game of a doubleheader, Mickey stepped in against lefty Billy Pierce.
Pierce tried to slip a fastball past Mickey and the Mick tore into it, sending a scorching high drive to left.
The ball cleared the 360-foot mark, crossed the 160-foot roof and descended to smash a car windshield on 34th Street outside. A parking lot attendant recovered the ball.
Some papers reported that Mickey's drive landed on the roof or hit a light tower but didn't go out of the park.
But the Comiskey Park attendants on the roof went to the Yankees locker room after the game to tell Mickey that his homer had cleared the roof and gone completely out of the park.
Only Jimmy Foxx had ever hit a ball that far. However, Mickey's homer is the only one to have eyewitnesses to verify that it actually cleared the stadium.
