This is a fascinating thread. Here are some of my favorite season passes.

The Indianapolis Indians and the Pittsburgh Pirates are interesting typographically.

The Cubs utilized bear-cub images in the early 1920s as these two examples illustrate.

The 1931 Boston Braves picture former star players on the back of their season pass, including Cy Young in the front row of the wagon.

The 1930 Boston Braves season pass medallion is a stunning example.

The 1939 Giants acknowledged the Centennial year of baseball.

Finally, 1949 was the last year the Phillies were known as the Blue Jays. In 1943 Robert R.M. Carpenter assumed control of the Phillies after previous owner, William Cox, lost control of the franchise because he had bet on his team. Carpenter changed the Phillies name to Blue Jays in an effort to clean up the Cox tainted image of the team. The Blue Jays name was dropped in January, 1950.
