Here's one from 1932. It refers to Cleveland's new stadium, which opened in 1931. In addition to it being an early Cleveland Stadium item, I like it because of the mentions of Ruth and Gehrig. It measures 7 x 18.5 inches.

Some excerpts of the text:

Major League Baseball
in Cleveland's Mammoth Stadium
Where 81,184 (world's record attendance) saw the first Major League
game in this giant sports arena. Just a short walk
from The Union Terminal on Public Square.


See the league leading "Yanks" and fighting "Indians" with a galaxy
of sluggers, crack pitchers and expert fielders in the last Sunday battle
of the season between these two teams.


LOOK 'EM OVER -- Ruth, Gehrig, Dickey, Lazzeri, Gomez, Ruffing,
Averill, Porter, Vosmik, Sewell, Morgan, Kamm, Cissell, Harder,
Hildebrand and others.
