twenty-two (22)
Displays a beautiful plaque commemorating 50 years of
baseball greatness
Originally Installed in 1923 this seat was removed from
the stadium in 1973 during the 50th year anniversary remodeling
Once a green wooden seat that seemed to blend into a
lush grass, eventually repainted to blue in 1966.
A seat that witnessed the extraordinary baseball
history, including 27 world series, countless records, and the grandeur
presence of Babe Ruth, Yogi Berra, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, and
numerous others.
To Obtain this chair in 1973, as a part of a Kent
cigarette tie-in, you would have to bring an empty carton of Kents &
$3.00 to Korvettes Department Stores (long ago bankrupt) & out back
of their store you could select the chair you wanted. There is no
certificate of authenticity (back then who thought of those things) but
it did come with a little metal plaque (see photo). |
