BASEBALL – UNUSED ST. LOUIS CARDINALS ILLUSTRATED LETTERHEAD – SPORTSMAN’S PARK - CA. 1952
DESCRIPTION
Mint unused letterhead. An educated guess would be ca. 1952 . I have a small quantity of these letterheads; as the stadium’s name officially changed Busch Stadium in 1953, these letterheads with the imprinted Sportsman’s Park would then have become obsolete.
Baseball was played on the Sportsman’s Park site in St; Louis as early as 1866, and was the home of both the Cardinals and Browns for many years. With the Browns' leaving for Baltimore and the close of the 1953 season (their last game was on Sept. 27, 1953), the stadium was sold to Cardinal owner August Busch. It had been the Cardinals home field since 1920, having moved from Robinson Field, and although renamed "Busch Stadium" in 1953, most baseball fans still thought of it as "Sportsman's Park." The Cardinals' last game in the park was on May 8, 1966. A boys' & girls' club baseball field is still on the site on Grand Avenue between Dodier, Spring, and Sullivan Streets. (see scan).
