Historic relic was removed from its place at the tip of the famed diamond by a member of the demolition crew called in to put the beloved venue to rest. Great use tells the tale of many a game witnessed by this stadium artifact. One can just imagine the spikes of Roberto Clemente and dozens of other NL stars leaving their marks on it. Mounted on green felt and framed (26"x32") as if it were a museum exhibit. The folks at Cooperstown would love to get their hands on this one, but its destiny awaits. LOA.
