THE DUGOUT: Buy Local
http://pauliesdugout.blogspot.com/2011/02/buy-local.html
Sunday, February 27, 2011. A new addition to The Dugout is a 1930's Chester Pilsner beer tray. I bought it from a guy who was renovating a building in Philadelphia in the 1970's. This tray was made by American Art Works. Coshocton, OH. In mint condition these trays have a book value of around $275. The old Chester Brewery was located at 2nd and Palmer Streets in Chester, PA. Like many local breweries, they went out of business in 1953. Virginia, C.S.A,. View my complete profile. UVA Ping Pong Table.

THE DUGOUT: The Spectrum 1967 - 2009
http://pauliesdugout.blogspot.com/2010/12/spectrum-1967-2009.html
Sunday, December 12, 2010. The Spectrum 1967 - 2009. The newest addition to The Dugout are two seats from The Spectrum in Philadelphia. It wasn't until the 1981 playoffs that I got to see my first Flyers game at the Spectrum. Brian Propp had a hat trick that night. The Flyers won that night but eventually lost the series to Calgary. We were offered seats in the much more desirable 2nd level one year. We took a vote and decided to stay where we were with the fans we got to know over the years. The home op...

THE DUGOUT: Newspaper Collection
http://pauliesdugout.blogspot.com/2011/02/newspaper-collection.html
Saturday, February 26, 2011. A business owner where I used to live in NJ had a bank of newspaper honor boxes. I noticed in the back a few older boxes that looked like they were being disgarded. I asked but was told a news service was coming by to pick them up. Much time past and no pick up. I asked again. This compelled the guy to make a phone call to get the boxes off his property. What are not in the box are several laminated front pages I had sealed back in the 80s. People warned about laminating ...

THE DUGOUT: Spectrum Brick
http://pauliesdugout.blogspot.com/2011/03/spectrum-brick.html
Sunday, March 20, 2011. As a Christmas gift my wife bought for me a brick from the Spectrum in Philadelphia. Because of demolition delays, the items was not available to ship before Christmas. An email "certificate" was sent. Finally last week the brick showed up in a nice logoed box with a wood mount and plaque on the side of the brick. JFK Stadium Brick, South Phila. Spectrum Brick, South Phila. To this date I never seen or heard of any bricks from JFK making their way into the public.

THE DUGOUT: The Dugout Fan Cave
http://pauliesdugout.blogspot.com/2011/06/man-garage.html
Sunday, June 19, 2011. The Dugout Fan Cave. In 2008 I converted my garage to a sports bar. I have over 20 years memorabilia that sat in boxes. During that time I was always searching for the color formulation for Green Monster in Fenway Park and the color for the scoreboard. I finally found them. When the colors didn't look natural under fluorescent lights I changed the lights in the garage to sunlight bulbs to best bring out the actual color. Some of my seating is from the Spectrum and Veterans Stadium ...

THE DUGOUT: Bruins Represented
http://pauliesdugout.blogspot.com/2011/06/bruins-represented.html
Sunday, June 19, 2011. One of the greatest Stanley Cup Finals in years. The underdog Bruins intimidated and hammered the President's Cup trophy winning Canucks. Even thought the Man Garage is heavy with Philadelphia Flyers swag, the Bruins are represented. Signed pucks, panoramic picture of the old Garden, signed Terry O'Reilly stick that he gave to me after playing in a game with him in the early 90s and several retirement banners hanging above the bar. 1996 All Star Limited Edition Wine Bottle. Barstoo...

THE DUGOUT: "33"
http://pauliesdugout.blogspot.com/2011/03/33.html
Wednesday, March 2, 2011. I picked up my first Rolling Rock Beer stadium seat about a year ago. It is a legit seat. The iron base is solid and the seat and back are hard moulded plastic. My son and myself were just at a hockey game at the Verizon Center in DC to see the Capitals. I commented to him that we have nicer seats in our bar than they do at the Verizon Center. I suppose these single seats were promotional items for beer distributors. The seat number on both (or all produced) is the familiar "33".

THE DUGOUT: Vet Stadium Seats
http://pauliesdugout.blogspot.com/2010/12/vet-stadium-seats.html
Friday, December 17, 2010. Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia, home of the Phillies and the Eagles, closed in 2004. Prior to MLB All Star game in 1996 the city (owners) changed the seats from a multi-colored (by levels) to all blue. The place sat 65,000 for baseball but on most nights only 20,000 bothered to show up. This resulted in a bright yellow upper level that remained mostly empty for all TV cameras to see.
