This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/29/2014
This very door has seen some of baseball's finest talent and been used for some of the sport's best and worst moments. Seeped in tradition, this was the very door a dejected Harvey Haddix walked through after he lost his perfect game bid, in the 12th inning no less.
It is also the very door the 1958 Yankees walked through during World Series games at County Stadium. Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente, Thurman Munson, numerous Hall of Fame diamond greats and even NFL teams walked through the offered wooden treasure - standing an imposing 36" x 82".
Some paint flaking is visible on the double-sided memento from commissioner Bowie Kuhn. There are instructions in Spanish built into the front and some pitting evident on metal portions as well.
Shipping will be substantial given the sheer size of this monstrosity.
Overall, one of the most historic remembrances of County Stadium.
