Description: From Cigar Box Classics we have, up for auction a very unique Baseball collectable: Not a cigar box at all but an antique cutlery storage box that I have gutted and repurposed into Cleveland's League Park!. Way before today's Guardians, Cleveland's Major League Baseball team was called the Indians, and before that, the Cleveland Spiders! The Spiders were known to be one of the worst teams of all time, but they became the Indians and entered the American League in 1901. Their venue: Cleveland's League Park. The Indians played regularly here until 1941 during The hated Yankees' Joe DiMaggio's famous 56-game hitting streak. The main image in the bottom of the box is, in fact, Joe DiMaggio getting one of his three hits that day in Cleveland in 1941.....the day BEFORE his 56 Game Hitting Streak came to an end! Why a Cigar Box Stadium? A great looking conversation piece for your den or Man Cave, or as a great place to toss the dice if you play one of the several excellent tabletop baseball games on the market such as Strat-O-Matic, or APBA. This League Park is covered on the interior surfaces with .030 transparent plastic to protect your dice-throwing surface, and to ensure a true dice roll. Its approx dimensions are 15" x 11 1/2" x 3 1/2" deep and may become a family heirloom to be passed down from one baseball-loving generation to the next. If you play dice baseball, what better way to suspend your dis-belief, and imagine yourself at League Park in the midst of DiMaggio's Streak in the 1941 season as YOUR Cleveland Indians of Bob Feller and Ken Keltner fame try to tame the Dynastic Yankees of Joe D!! The cigar box is in excellent condition. Buyer agrees to pay $22.50 Shipping & Handling. No foreign shipping unless thru Global Ship Program offered by eBay. Seller agrees to ship within 3 business days of cleared purchase. Also, i refund significant shipping overcharges.
