Blog Kiosk: 11/4/2016 - Dodgers Links - Demolition Photos of Brooklyn Ballpark Washington Park II

Here is something I didn't expect to find on eBay.  Featured here are three original photographs, dated to 1926, that shows progress of the demolition of the Washington Park II.  As you may know, this ballpark was one of the earliest homes of the Brooklyn Dodgers from 1898-1912.  It was also home to a short lived Federal League ballclub known as the Brooklyn Tip Tops.  (Auction links here, here and here)

The pics was taken by local photographer Joseph Smith, and it appears they were taken for the benefit of the Brooklyn Edison Company (due to some markings indicated on the reverse).  This also makes a lot on sense considering that the current occupants of the land is Con Edison of New York.  It states that demolition work began on April 29th, 1926, and these photographs were taken more then a couple months later on July 15, 1926.

2016 Topps Stadium Club - All the Dodgers Base Cards

Wow!

Topps officially released their 2016 Stadium Club Baseball card set today, and it's as magnificent as ever.  It's filled with fantastic photography that will make you smile and gaze in amazement.  This set is just beautiful.

Featured below are all of the Dodgers base cards.  Go here for a complete checklist.  Next week I should have photos of the inserts and variations that are available.

If I had to chose a favorite Dodger card from this set I would have to pick Joc Pederson.  He is posed in a very typical Baseball manner, but sports a mean scowl.  It makes me laugh in fear.

#13 Sandy Koufax                                   #43 Joc Pederson

#49 Brett Anderson                                 #69 Clayton Kershaw
