Mark Speck shares the Kessler Fan Guide
Author and historian Mark Speck gives us some great memories that he had waiting for his father to bring home a marketing publication put out by Kessler's Whiskey from the 1950s right into the early 21st-Century, The Kessler's Baseball Fans Guides.
The approximately 35 page pamphlet told items about each MLB team, its players and stadium seating info as well as schedules to get fans amped up for the upcoming season of MLB baseball. Mark said this in a recent Facebook post:
"Every year for 5 or 6 years my Dad would bring one home for me when the bar near where he worked had a few copies. Getting this every year during my teens really sparked my interest in sports and sports statistics. I still have the Guides for every season from 1969 to 1975. I remember this not only because I looked forward to and enjoyed getting the book each year, but also it was a nice way for my Dad and I to connect on a certain level. Of simple things like this are special memories made."
Join us in the podcast above to learn more about the guide amn Mark's special experiences he had wuith the beloved marketing booklet.
