As a kid in the 1950's....I recall seeing these signs on my way to Yankee Stadium and the Polo Grounds.

The reverse has the lettering....."NO BASEBALL GAME TODAY".

What kind of Stadium related "goodies" do you guys have ?

sorry about the cropping, the sign was too large.

All I ever get from the Dodgers is a lousy towel, blanket or calendar.

I have a brick from Old Comiskey Park, with green,blue, and red paint. Very beautiful. I also have a chair, and a sign that says "Rows XX, YY, ZZ." I loved that place.

While not baseball related, I also have a brick from Chicago Stadium, along with a sign that hung in the main concourse that said "Mezzanine" with an arrow pointing up. The Old Barn Rocked. Always looking for new pieces to add.

about the old Stadium...
I had the great fortune to see a Bulls-Knicks game in 1986, first row behind the hockey rink wall at one corner of the court...Bulls pulled it out late, if I remember correctly...the place was rocking so loud, I thought it was going to come down on top of me...and I was loving every minute of it!!!
what a great old building that was...

I never had the good fortune to make it to the old Comsikey Park...although, my feelings towards the Sox being what they are, I don't particularly mind!

Go Cubs!

A brick from Cleveland's League Park.



Fast foward 50 years or so ... While at Game 5 of the 1995 World Series, I was walking in the concourse of Jacobs Field and saw the sign below at a vendor's cart that was selling $7 coffees and hot chocolates. I loved the sign and asked the guy if I could have it. He said he couldn't give it to me right then (no surprise), but he took my name and address and said he'd be in touch after the Series. Needless to say, I was more than a little skeptical. That November I got a call, and a week later this was in my collection. Great memory.

Nice Wichita item! You still live in KS? Lawerence Dumont is a great old ballpark. I frequent it in the summer. Last year here for now for a farm club to play here is this year. A little sad, but we still have the NBC tourney and there is talk of an independent team. Love Wichita baseball history. It is surprisingly pretty rich.

Damian, I'm still in Kansas and am saddened by the loss of our minor league team as well. Wichita will bounce back, it has a history of doing so.

I've an "L".

When they re did Yankee stadium in the mid 70's I bought an "L", about 2x3 feet from the old stadium scoreboard.

My brother in law just got two Soldier Field seats. He picked them up off ebay I believe about a year ago to give to his dad who passed away before he could give them to him. His mom won't allow it but he's planning on setting them up in place of a bench at his grave site later. (I assume that means after she's gone).
