Erected in 1953, Milwaukee County Stadium saw its fair share of history. Hank Aaron hit many of his home runs there. The 1957 World Champion Milwaukee Braves played there. The Seattle Pilots moved to Milwaukee and became the Milwaukee Brewers, playing 30 seasons there. The Packers played numerous home game there. Beloved baseball movie Major League was filmed there. Even performers like The Beach Boys, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, B.B. King, Simon and Garfunkel, Elton John, and James Brown stopped by 201 S. 46th Street for a night.
But on Sunday, October 3, 1999 - County Stadium's turnstiles locked, the cheers went silent, and the field's lights went out for good.
This lot offers a literal piece of the unforgettable Milwaukee baseball relic. An original Cream City brick used in the construction of County Stadium anchors this historic offering. Weighing just over 4 lbs., it is accompanied by a ticket stub from that final 1999 Brewers game, as well as a certificate of authenticity.
Though County Stadium has since been razed and replaced, this lot, along with the stadium's rich and storied history, will ensure the edifice immortality in the hearts of Braves and Brewers fans alike. MINT condition. 01088
