An Old Green Seat

At one time Detroit's Tiger Stadium, the local baseball park from 1896 until 1999, had what were called box seats. They were actually individual padded chairs rather than a connected series of seats as most other ballpark seating was at the time (well, even now in most stadiums and arenas I suppose). They were the most expensive seats in the park, and I never sat in one during a game. But now I can.

I bought one those beauties from a sports memorabilia dealer. What do you think?

Now I can sit in a box seat anytime I want to, while watching any game I want to. Ain't life grand?

It dates from 1917 when the place was called Navin Field, after then owner Frank Navin. I hope I look that good after 105 years of wear.
