Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium in Atlanta Georgia was home to the Atlanta Braves from 1966-1996 and the Atlanta Falcons from 1966-1991. One of the most historic events in the stadiums history occurred on April 8 1974 when Hank Aaron became baseball's all-time career home run leader by hitting his 715th home run off the Los Angeles Dodgers' Al Downing. Incidentally Joe Torre hit the first major league home run in the history of the Atlanta stadium on April 12 1966.
The offered Fulton County grandstand seat measures 21"-wide and 29"-tall. This wooden folding seat and three-panel back rest are firmly secured within a metal frame. In vintage light-blue layered paint the seat bears an "17" seat number which is stenciled in white on the top back rest panel. The paint is moderately distressed throughout but the seat remains sturdy and structurally sound. The seat is affixed to a modern support base making it fully functional.
Includes a Letter of Provenance from The Newport Sports Museum.
