Treat yourself like a boss, by bringing home this Oakland Athletics team-signed 1989 World Series "Battle of the Bay" Commissioner’s Box chair. The 1989 World Series is memorable for the thrilling play of Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson, the shut down pitching of “Smoke” Stewart, and the harrowing interruption of the Loma Prieta earthquake, which postponed the Series for nearly two full weeks.
The accompanying Team LOA from the Athletics states this multi-signed chair was stationed in the “Commissioners on-field box during the 1989 World Series”, and it also lists the names of the (31) signers, who have provided autographs ranging 8 to 10 in potency.
