Interesting estate sale pick up today

Leiascards

Found this for 2.00 at a local estate sale this morning. It is a ticket book with 11 unused tickets from the 1973 Shreveport Captains.

Go to the stadium and try to use them, then film the reactions you get.

Stadium no longer exists nor does the team.

Don't lose or destroy it, because it will not be replaced or any allowances made therefor.

Nice find.

Very cool pickup.

I just did some searching on the club and it seems they have no major league affiliation at this time.



An inside look at Spar Stadium.

In the 80s through about 2003 the Shreveport Captains were the AA farm club of the Giants and a staple in the Texas League. I believe it was 2004 when they were moved to Frisco Texas to become the Frisco RoughRiders. They were replaced by an amateur team named the Swamp Dragons, but I drove by the new Stadium that was built in the 80s to replace SPAR stadium the other day and it was dead silent.

I attended 5 or so Captains games including the 1990 exhibition game with the Giants.

I found this site that talks about Spar Stadium and the teams that played there over the years.

Here's the web which also has a bunch of pics of the stadium which I think has been renamed today.
