Thanks all!
Scott... I did have that info on Swayne Field and the Overland Company (thanks to a great Net54 thread a few years ago). For 2 years, Overland sponsored a Major League Exhibition Game in their home town of Toledo. 1914 was Athletics/Cubs. 1915 was Giants/Tigers. They brought in major stars of the day like Cobb, Mathewson, Bender, Collins, Tinker, Evers, Chance, etc.... strictly as a "thank you" to their employees and their families! Can you imagine that happening today? Here is the A's/Cubs Pennant from the 1914 Game...
