1891 Boston vs Pittsburg Poster

[Rob D.]

Here's one from 1932. It refers to Cleveland's new stadium, which opened in 1931. In addition to it being an early Cleveland Stadium item, I like it because of the mentions of Ruth and Gehrig. It measures 7 x 18.5 inches.

Some excerpts of the text:

Major League Baseball
in Cleveland's Mammoth Stadium
Where 81,184 (world's record attendance) saw the first Major League
game in this giant sports arena. Just a short walk
from The Union Terminal on Public Square.

See the league leading "Yanks" and fighting "Indians" with a galaxy
of sluggers, crack pitchers and expert fielders in the last Sunday battle
of the season between these two teams.


LOOK 'EM OVER -- Ruth, Gehrig, Dickey, Lazzeri, Gomez, Ruffing,
Averill, Porter, Vosmik, Sewell, Morgan, Kamm, Cissell, Harder,
Hildebrand and others.

Alan, You're probably looking for baseball ones, but if you scroll down 3/4 down the page of the link above you'll see two football excursion broadsides...actually I address the genera briefly in the story...the Michigan one was in the booth of Tony Busineau at the last National he did...Tony always had Michigan stuff....that one was very tall like 3 feet
