CLOSING TONIGHT - Love of the Game Auctions

[Shoebox]

Well good news for me. Extended bidding has arrived and since I am the only bidder this item will be making the return trip back to Kearney, NE.



The park pictured is Memorial Field that was completed in 1946. During the late 40s to early 50s it was home to the Kearney Irishmen a semi-pro team in the Nebraska Independent League. In the mid to late 50s it was home to Kearney Yankees, a class D rookie league team in the Nebraska State League. The park is still in use today by the University of Nebraska - Kearney Lopers a NCAA Division II team. Joba Chamberlain is probably the most notable of the handful of MLB players that have had it as their home park.

While it isn't a significant item among the great auction Al put together I am THRILLED to have come across it. Best of all..as the only bidder I have no need to stay up until 3 am wondering if I will be outbid. Good luck to everyone staying up late. I hope you are all as pleased with what you win as I am with this little postcard.
