Can anyone tell me what or when this is from?
 

I picked up this card? a few weeks ago in a group and I haven’t been able to figure out exactly what it’s for or when it was made.

Mike Garcia died in January 1986 so the latest it can be is 1985.

It’s almost certainly 1984, the Indians played the Yankees at home on a Sunday on August 12 of that year. ETA it was for an Old Timers Game played before the regular game and was sponsored by Ohio Marathon gas stations.

Thanks, Cliff! So, probably a stadium giveaway item.

A promo to sell more tickets. Neat item.

1984 also makes sense, as it was the 30th anniversary of the 1954 team. Many of those old-timers games in the 80s celebrated milestone anniversary teams.

I have a nice ball I got signed in 1988 at the old-timers game in Boston, which honored the 40th anniversary of the Red Sox / Indians one-game playoff and the Boston Braves / Indians World Series.
