I'm trying to verify this, but someone said this poster was from 1950...And they claim that means a 19 year old Ernie Banks would have been playing for the Monarchs and a 19 year old Willie Mays would have been playing for the Barons.

That shot is taken from almost exactly where I sat when I was there - we were in the first row probably about where that guy with the brown shirt and white cap is sitting. Ordered tickets a few weeks before and was kind of bummed we had to sit in the upper deck. HAH! It was like 15 feet off the ground.

Loved that park, but I'm sure if I went 10 times I would hate it. We had a rain delay after the first inning and when we were all crammed in the concourses it was leaking so bad that I thought we might stay drier if we were outside.
I only made it there once, in its last year. We were sitting more behind home plate, just a bit to the 3B side in like the 4th or 5th row of the upper deck. I remember thinking someone could really get drilled by a foul ball up there because those seats were so close.
Those seats would be awesome. And how good of a vantage point was that press box? Don't make 'em like that anymore.
