I wish teams still did this stuff. This was how they showed fans what was new with the team and stadium for 1947.

My grandpa gave it to me a few years ago.

He also gave me a photo of Borchardt Field before a game that was given to him by his neighbor, a historian. The picture is also at the historical society.

I’ll fanshot them on here when I get a chance.

Since it takes up 2 city blocks, it’s rectangular shaped. Notice the foul lines… The playing field is shaped like home plate.

375’ to dead center and 265’ down the lines, yikes. They really would be hitting balls through people’s windows.

Thanks for sharing.

Reminds me of all the little cartoons they used to have on the back of Topps’ cards.
