Take me out to the Ballgame!

Hi everyone. Hope you all had a great weekend! We got caught in a thunder storm sat. night but otherwise it was a quiet weekend for me.

In honor of spring and baseball season, I have some great baseball souvenirs in my shop this week and with Father's Day just around the corner, this may be the perfect gift. First is a key chain commemorating the opening day of the St. Lucie County Stadium in Florida. The key chain is a dark bronze colored metal ticket of the Mets vs. Dodgers opening day game on March 5, 1988. A great piece of nostalgia for the baseball fan or even Port St. Lucie resident!

My sister happens to live in Port St. Lucie and her family has been to many a game at Tradition Field, the Official Spring Training Headquarters for the NY Mets. From the moment their son was born, he was wearing a baseball cap on his head and a glove on his hand! I kid you not, this tyke is very serious about baseball. He turns 4 this summer and can sing "Take me out to the ballgame" better than me! My sons have enjoyed baseball games down there as well, especially when there is a fireworks show. 

I am including a link to the St. Lucie Mets website for you. I found a great photo on their website of the stadium. They offer it as a wallpaper but I've reduced it here for my blog. If you would like this photo for your desktop, you can go the the website, click on "Tradition Field" and you'll see wallpapers - its a free download. They have a few choices but I just loved this one, what a great shot!

As I mentioned, I have a few vintage baseball souvenirs this week. The other 2 items are a Milwaukee Brewers/Maxwell House Coffee Mug and a Ges-Line Phillies Baseball Drink Serving Tray. The mug has the team logo on one side and the Maxwell House Coffee logo on the other. Its made by Dawn, Passaic, NJ.  The tray has 6 spaces to hold drinks and is decorated with the Phillies logo and a picture of the stadium in the center. Its marked Ges-Line Made in USA.

Update:  I missed posting a mystery item last friday but not to worry! I will have one later this week so please stay tuned.  Have a great week!
