There are not nearly enough baseball cards that feature the Bromo Seltzer Tower in the background.

Ryan H said...: It's a shame that it can't be seen from the stadium anymore because of that damn Hilton in the way now. I wonder if there are anymore cards showing the tower in the background.......; August 2, 2013 at 7:54 AM
Kevin said...: Ryan - Sad but true. On Opening Day 2009, my father and I sat in the upper deck well down the third-base line. I think we could still see the tower from that angle, but in most other seats in the ballpark, it is obscured by that charmless hotel.; August 2, 2013 at 8:08 AM
