Matchbook baseball schedules
were often used by a variety of
advertisers. The idea being after all
the matches are used the baseball fan,
will keep the schedule for their
favorite team, saving the advertising
on the other side. Distillers commonly
used matchbook schedules, distributing
them to bars
where baseball fans gathered for a
drink and a smoke. Taverns & lounges
also used this medium to promote their
establishment.
There was a time when smoking cigars &
cigarettes at the game was permitted.
Cigarettes were even sold at the
ballpark. Some teams printed their own
complimentary matchbook schedules., and
made them available at the ballpark.
The Philadelphia Athletes printed such
matchbooks, this style in different
colors with Connie Mack's White Elephant, from
about 1938-1943. The covers also
promotes the sale of reserved seating.
