148.0. "Ballpark Photographs" by CECV03::GILLIS (History wants U, they made a mistake) Thu Jun 14 1990 18:06

    I'm not much of a collecter, but I have always been interested in
    collecting photos of old major league ballparks.  Whenever I'm
    in a card shop, or even shops around Cooperstown, I never seem
    to find good quality photos of games in action at the Polo Grounds,
    Ebbetts Field, old Yankee Stadium, etc.  
    
    Does anyone know a good place to find quality prints of old ballparks?
    
    Thanks in advance.

148.3Last game in old Yankee Stadium??AKOV12::GASPARONIWed Jun 20 1990 13:095
    Does anyone know what year Yankee Stadium was refurbished into the
    present Yankee Stadium.  I was there for the last game, and removed a
    piece of a seat, (almost got arrested) until everyone started riping
    down everything in site!  If anyone knows what the last game was it
    would be very help ful.  Thanks.

    Re. -1
    
    Yankee Stadium was closed after the '73 season for refurbishing.  It
    was re-opened for the start of the '76 season.

    Moveable Outfield Wall- In the era of Black and White Baseball
          the pirates would move the left field wall based on the
          # of home run hitters that they had.  It was called Greensberg
    Gardens.

    Try calling the HOF library. They should have what you're looking for.
    8x10's cost about $20.00, but they do make larger sizes.

    	While I rememeber what I do  :^)
    
    	I saw a 'postcard' booklet of Ball Park Souvenier postcards at
    	Walden Books/Searstown, Leominster last night. Flipped through,	
    	but didnt pay much attention till reading over this...
    	About 20 'funtional' copies of early(?) to 70's souvenier cards,
    	all different. Located in the HOBBIES/Baseball_bandwagon shelf...
