orig./Rare!! 1950 EUGENE LARKS **Vintage Baseball Program** Far West League

Description: >Offered here is an old and original 1950 EUGENE-SPRINGFIELD LARKS minor league baseball program!! Please see all five photos, as they are an important part of my description. This rare vintage baseball program measures approximately 10" x 7" and contains sixteen (16) numbered pages, including both covers. Classic Larks' logo on the program's front cover shows the bird perched on the "L". The program was originally issued as a "concession stand" baseball souvenir here in Eugene, Oregon at small-venue Bethel Park where the Eugene Larks called home (the Larks only averaged 669 fans per game during this 1950 season). I do not believe the Larks had any Major League Baseball team affiliation. <>All Eugene Larks memorabilia is very rare, as the team was only in existence for the 1950 and 1951 seasons; after their demise, the Eugene Emeralds team was born in 1955 and still exists to this day. The 1950 Eugene-Springfield Larks were a member of the old Far West League; they compiled a 62-77 record, good for sixth place. There are only two (2) photographs inside the program: Lou Vezelich (player/manager), and Arthur Hadler (Larks president). The program is filled with Eugene, Oregon vintage advertising. The box score at the centerfold is vacant and never scored; there is no Larks' opponent listed. The Lark's roster is included, though by last name only. Vezilich led all qualifying hitters on the roster with a .348 average. Pitcher Dick Waibel recorded a 2.69 ERA. There is a "DiMaggio" listed on the Larks' roster, who I believe to be Vince DiMaggio. My final photo shows a still-intact coupon on the inside of the back cover, which fans could have clipped out for a chance to win "free merchandise" during June, July and August games during the 1950 season (the only mention of the program's year-of-issue). <>Condition: the program exhibits light-moderate age/handling faults, to include slightly tarnished binding staples, a couple of teeny-tiny edge tears on the covers and other misc. handling wear (nothing major!). The binding is solid!
