Crosley Field Seats-What am I Missing?

[Dave Grob]

I believe these “Haywood-Wakefield” style aisle seats were phased out gradually and not replaced all at once, but rather as renovations were being made at Crolsey Field. I suspect the first place this was done were the field boxes behind the home plate area and then radiating out along the left and right field lines. I would also offer that these seats, given the time frame we are looking at, were probably last painted green as opposed the reddish-orange seats you see by the time of the 1940 World Series.

This has been a long term project for me, and one I wish I had more time to devote to on a continuous basis. Regrettably, there are always competing demands on my research time and my personal interest items always seem to have to take a back seat (no pun intended).
