Thought long and hard and settled on Owens taking the podium at the '36 Olympics in Berlin for the big fat f*+!k you to Hitler.

Runner ups:
Johnson taking down Jeffries

Ali v Frazier I at Madison Square Gardens.(don't think I could do it for $2

Merkle's boner

Unfortunately you couldn't get into Johnson/Jeffries either. The nosebleeds were 10 bucks.

Even in 1892 the Sullivan Championship fight ticket was $15!

Yeah, it's amazing what high profile Heavyweights made compared to athletes in other sports at the time. Dempsey probably made more in a couple fights during his championship reign then Babe Ruth made during his entire career.

Yes, two bucks might have been too limiting. Maybe a late round admission...

There are plenty of great options to consider. Assuming I had the time I wonder if 2 bucks would have been enough to send off for a complete set of 1915 cracker jack cards. Or maybe track down a Babe Ruth rookie, then see if you could get him to sign it.

Ahhh, I mean, you probably could have just snuck in at some point (doubt security was very tight), and then bought a truckload of souvenirs on the streets of Reno with the two bucks burning a hole in your pocket.

Set up inside a tobacco shop in New York in 1911 and advertise you’re buying all base ball player picture cards for a $.10 a piece. Soon as word gets around you’d have kids beating down your door. Bound to find everything from 1880’s on.

You'd be out of dough after buying just 20 cards. Offer a penny instead.

I'd go to a Giants game in the middle of the 1908 season and catch Fred Merkle before or after a game, to suggest he always touch second base when a teammate hits an apparent game-winning single.

Lol. Good thinking. You never know what effect it would have downstream.
