Product Description
Presenting the Ebbets Field Photomint. Home Of the Brooklyn Dodgers 1913 - 1957. Ebbets Field opened on April 9, 1913, as the home of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Many historical events, played out in Ebbets Field, were etched in public memory. Certainly the most important one was Jackie Robinson making his debut on April 15, 1947 and playing first base for the Dodgers. What could have been a tense situation was defused when Dodgers shortstop Pee Wee Reese put his arm around Robinson before the game, letting the crowd know that he was on Robinson's side in any potential standoff. Presented in laser cut double matting and a Black molded wood Frame measuring 12â€x 15â€. A 8X10 Black and White Image Featuring the façade of Ebbets Field. 24KT Gold Ebbetts Field coin Minted of 24KT Gold overlay featuring the Stadium. The 24KT Gold Brooklyn Dodgers Coin Minted of 24KT Gold overlay and featuring the “B†logo and established date. Certificate Of Authenticity is individually numbered and mounted between the gold coins. This is a limited edition of 1901 and is officially licensed by MLB.Ebbets Field Photo Mint Review
The Brooklyn Dodgers' home from 1913 to 1957, Ebbets Field was a tiny, asymmetrical, offbeat ballpark built atop the old Pigtown garbage dump. Seating 30,000 hardy souls in it's narrow wooden park bench-like seats, this "Cathedral of the Underdog" was crammed onto a single city block. It was the setting for a talented but equally offbeat team (affectionately called "Dem Bums") that was always in contention, but seemed doomed to always, or almost always, be defeated in the eleventh hour and fifty-ninth minute of any contest, particularly if that contest involved the New York Yankees, their domineering crosstown American League rivals.Offbeat though it was, Ebbets Field had the deserved reputation of being an intimate, homelike ballpark, where fans became friends simply by dint of sitting practically in each others' laps. It was a pint-sized stadium where fans could talk to the outfielders between pitches, yell directions to the managers and watch their shouts change the lineup, and hurl epithets and beer bottles at .150 hitters in the on-deck circle with a 100% chance of a response.
The interior of the classical eighty foot high Rotunda entrance featured brass-grille ticket windows. It was lighted by a chandelier whose many arms and globes resembled bats and baseballs, while Ebbets Field's unique "bandbox" grandstand was a happy accident, the love child of maximized seating and limited cubic footage, a design-by-default never successfully replicated by intention anyplace else.
It's said that Gil Hodges was the only Brooklyn Dodger never booed at Ebbets Field. Ebbets Field was also the site of Babe Herman's legendarily infamous "three men on third base" gaffe, well deserving of boos.
Ebbets Field was also (courtesy of Jackie Robinson and team owner Branch Rickey), the historic setting for the integration of Major League Baseball in 1947.
Most importantly for Brooklyn fans, it was the site of "The Miracle on Flatbush Avenue," Brooklyn's singular World Series victory in 1955 (the Series was actually won at Yankee Stadium, but who's counting?). The photomint states that the Dodger organization was founded in 1901, an historical errata. The Dodgers coalesced over several decades in the late nineteenth century. In point of fact, the name "Dodgers" was used interchangeably with others as late as 1931, and did not become official until the 1940s.
The Highland Mint has created a wonderful limited edition photomint of 1,901 pieces, featuring the park's Rotunda entrance; the undated (but likely 1950s) photograph is matted alongside two 24k gold coins, representing Ebbets Field and the Brooklyn Dodgers respectively, and a legend briefly describing the park. All set within a heavy-gauge frame behind a UV-resistant shatterproof facing, this beautiful piece should give a lifetime of enjoyment.
It makes a fine companion to the BROOKLYN DODGERS HIGHLAND MINT BROOKLYN "TEAMMATE" PHOTOMINT featuring Jackie Robinson on his debut day, April 15, 1947, and 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers World Series Champions Team 13x16 Plaque.
