Did they actually build those small towers at the ends of each grandstand bleachers at Shibe or were those just early design renderings that never came to be? I kind of like them.

Sadly, I don't think so. And the second deck was expanded in 1925, so that was that.

The photo I posted is the only one I have. Only in the last month or so I started collecting stadium pictures/postcard images. I will keep looking.

Your picture is really cool. Any idea what is that building past the right field wall? Looks like a waterslide.

The top of my postcard want list is SD padres PCL Westgate park and the first Phoenix Municipal stadium.

Long before the days of the internet and digital scans, I've amassed quite a collection of ballpark postcards (400 plus). At the time, postcards were some of the best resource of photo/picture documentation of old parks out there. Like baseball cards, some orginal linen postcards are worth a pretty substantial sum of money.

I had 1 postcard of Dodger Stadium and I mailed for Mariah Carey to read a few years ago to Mariah Carey's fan club. I will buy postcards of Dodger Stadium. And I also will buy postcards of Yankee Stadium.

These are cool postcards! I like the everyone drives to colt 45s stadium since now we are going green and trying decrease these kinds of ideas. Also memorial stadium always looked nice on the outside, it was just too circular for me to like it was a whole.

I bought 1 postcard of SAFECO Field and I mailed it to my Mom to read. My Mom does not have a fan club. I have been to Dodger Stadium. I do not have a postcard of Dodger Stadium.

I don't know if it a real postcard or just a snapshot. This is Roc Stadium St Cloud Minnesota. Last used in the Northern League 1971. First professional stadium I ever saw.43777
