Ticket Stub, W. F. Schildman Sepia Photo from the Final Baseball Game at Crosley Field.
Lot 119. Ticket Stub, W. F. Schildman Sepia Photo from the Final Baseball Game at Crosley Field. In 1970, Cincinnati joined the national rush to move baseball from intimate ballparks to huge stadiums good mostly for watching football games. The move brought an end to major league baseball at venerable Crosley Field on June 24, 1970. The Reds defeated the Giants, 5-4. The 12” x 16” photo captures the final major league play there, with Wayne Granger on the mound and Bobby Bonds at bat. The accompanying ticket stub was separated slightly unevenly at the left. Otherwise, it is nm-m. Together, the stub and photo are professionally matted and framed to 21 ½” x 23 ¼”. A folder with the starting lineups and an inning-by-inning summary of the game is attached to the back of the frame. Wonderful Reds memento.
Winning Bid $134.
