Thanks Fred. I noticed that one and a few more exactly like it. Would have been really cool to have the partial ball thing still in it. The one difference I did find is the price in the top right corner is laid out differently on the one I have compared to all of them I could find.

If anybody collects these you can have the one I found for the price of shipping. I don't collect them and don't want to throw it away.

It looks much nicer after I wiped it down with a damp paper towel.

Lady's fleece vest designed by Marguerite Rubel. Ms. Rubel designed clothing from the 1940's through the 1980's. Her outerwear was carried by Macy's, Nordstrom's, Joseph Magnin and I. Magnin.

I guess the hanger is kind of oddball too. From the Mayfair Inn in Sanford, Florida...the Giants' Spring Training home before they moved to Arizona.

Seat cushion from the LA Dodger games at the Coliseum 1958-61 before Chavez was built. I know they rented cushions there, but I'm not sure if this is one of them.

I doubt that was a rental, Rick. I don’t think the vinyl would hold up. The rentals at Seals and Candlestick were both heavy cloth; almost canvas.

Here’s a seat cushion made of the type of material you mentioned Rob from the old Topeka Owls Ballpark (kind of hard to read because it’s wrapped in plastic) and a colorized photo of a fellow who may have played in that park.

Makes sense Rob. I remember going to some games at the Coliseum with my grandfather and he rented cushions for us, and I believe we even rented them at Chavez, but I was pretty young and can't remember anything about them.

Hi Rick,
I believe it's likely that this seat cushion was a stadium giveaway. I recall having a similar Angels seat cushion from about the same time period.
If not it was sold at the stadium as a souvenir.

I’m not sure they even did stadium giveaways in the early ‘60s. The game was enough, I think.

Set of 6 coasters sold by the Metropolitan Museum in NY. No longer available through the museum, but I've found some on Ebay for those interested.

I don't own these but Lordy I wish I did! By the way today is the 50th Anniversary of his no hitter. I wonder what Scott Garner has from that game?
