Do ya like vintage Baseball????

Well, before there were bumper stickers, there were license extenders for vacation adverts. This one caught my eye because it's the Centennial of Cooperstown up to 1939. I could visualize a couple of young fellows in there dad's Model A making a trip to Cooperstown in 1939.

Dad's probably removed it when his A returned too.

My dad use to pay the kid in the parking lot a quarter not to put a bumper sticker on our car.

There are some very old license extenders on eBay going back to the late 20s.

Yeh, last year 2 of the biggest teams came out here for a game.

I always thought it was a good game, must have watched too many Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig flicks .

It was the most boring game I have ever seen .

All they did was stand in front of the catcher and take a few swings, sometimes they got lucky and had a half assed run to first base and got out.

80 % of the whole game was some dude talking statistics constantly.

It got to be an hour (it seemed like a week) of talking stats, with the occasional live feed back to game.

You guys can keep that game over there.
 
If it had been a game between the 1927 NY Yankee Murderers Row and the 1934 St Louis Cardinals Gashouse Gang, it would have been a game worth watching.

It's all business now and not worth the big bucks to watch them.....IMO!!!
 
I agree that the only baseball worth watching is a Little League game that has your kid, -or grandkids playing in it. With that said though, for those who do like vintage baseball, evidently there is a yearly vintage baseball tournament held in Greenfield Village in the lower backfields. Supposedly it is a big deal where the players and officials all dress up in vintage garb. Check it out if that is your thing.
 
I would like it, if I had a '39, but I wouldn't pay $100.00 for it.

Baseball is for old people, not young people like us model Aers. When you have a model A who has time for a baseball game?
 
All professional sports have become a joke. There was a time I could watch a good baseball game, but that time has been gone for quite awhile. Anyway the topper is pretty cool. It is from a time when baseball was actually entertaining. Just like the cars of the past are nothing like the new ones.
 
If you want a REAL experience of what baseball should be, Its well worth the time to take in a Cubs game at Wrigley Field in Chicago, if you're there sometime. I'm not a big baseball fan, but my wife and I went there with some friends last year for a game, and spent a weekend there. Lots to see and do, and I would say that seeing a baseball game in that historic facility was the highpoint of the weekend.

And the same can be said about Bostons Fenway Park !!..
 
I like it a lot being a huge baseball fan (plus the fact I still play in a 35 years old and over baseball league), but would like it more if it was about either the NL or AL pennant from 1930.
