Al Lang Field postcard acquired at a local antique store.

Baseball Roots: Built in 1947 and named after former mayor Al Lang, the park served for over 60 years as a spring training and minor league home for Major League Baseball teams, including the New York Yankees, St. Louis Cardinals, and Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Legendary players like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Mickey Mantle graced the field.

I found 2 more postcards last weekend “antiquing”. The Polo Grounds and Yankee Stadium. Now I need to figure out a cool way to display these and find some more.

I have a very eclectic collection. Cards, memorabilia, bourbon, mini-bats, baseballs, etc.

When I find something vintage, it’s always a plus. This Briggs Stadium postcard was a really cool find for $1.50.

Briggs Stadium was the former historic ballpark in Detroit, MI. Later renamed Tiger Stadium, it served as home of the Detroit Tigers from 1912 to 1999 and the Detroit Lions from 1938 to 1974.

From what little research I have done, this postcard is from 1930-1945. Unfortunately, I can’t make out the postmark on the reverse of the postcard.

Very cool pre rookie card Eddie Murray.

These are modern from the 2010s but such great images of iconic models
