Presented is the opportunity to possess a stadium seat from one of baseball's classic ballparks, Crosley Field. Although the offering was used at Crosley Field, the exact years of its use at Crosley Field are unknown. National League baseball was played in Cincinnati at the intersection of Western Ave. and Findlay Street from 1884 until mid-season in 1970, when the Reds moved to Riverfront Stadium. The Western and Findlay site previously was the home of League Park (1884-1901) and The Palace of the Fans (1902-12). Redland Field was at the site since 1912, with a change of name in 1934 to Crosley Field, named after Powel Crosley, the new owner of the franchise.

Crosley Field, in 1935, became the first Major League ballpark to install permanent lighting for night games. In the first and second American Football Leagues, several Cincinnati Bengals teams played home games at Crosley Field, but not the Paul Brown Cincinnati Bengals, of the fourth American Football League. The Cincinnati Tigers, playing Negro League baseball in the 1930s, also used Crosley Field as a home ballpark. A unique feature of the ballpark was the 15 degrees slope in left field. Hall of Famers such as Edd Roush, Ernie Lombardi, Frank Robinson, and Ken Griffey Jr. have called Crosley Field home. In addition, Hall of Famers Johnny Bench and Tony Perez, who were developing into what became known as "The Big Red Machine," had Crosley Field as their home park. So did slugger Ted Kluszewski and the all-time Hit King, Pete Rose. Crosley Field hosted games of the World Series: 1919, when the Reds defeated the Chicago White Sox (the Black Sox); 1939, when the Reds lost the Series to the New York Yankees; 1940, with Cincinnati taking the Series from the Detroit Tigers; 1961, when the New York Yankees defeated the Reds. However, the 1970 World Series, when the Baltimore Orioles beat the Reds, was held in the Reds' new home, Riverfront Stadium.

The offered red stadium seat is approximately 30.5" in height and 19.2" wide, with a seat area that measures 14.25x15". The supports for the seat, along the sides and under the actual chair, are metal. The seat itself, and the backrest, are wood. Underneath the seat, on the metal supports, is a metallic, raised marking reading, "17L." On the metal supports on the right side of the chair is the metallic marking reading, "17R." The actual seat part does raise and lower, some areas of the chair are not securely attached at joints, and to make the chair actually functional, some repairs and/or tightening of bolts would be needed. It appears that the chair has been repainted one or more times. The offering weighs 27 lbs. There are some stains, and some minor wood and paint loss through nicks, chipping, and other factors. The stadium seat makes a fine remembrance from one of the Major Leagues' classic ballparks.
