  • Muehlebach Field Dedication July 3, 1923
    [page 1] Muehlebach Field Dedication July 3, 1923 Compliments KANSAS CITY BASEBALL CLUB AMERICAN ASSOCIATION [page 2] Proclamation HEY, red-blooded Americans, Fans, EVERYBODY! A new park, Muehlebach Field, dedicated to the great American sport, Baseball, will open Tuesday, July third, Brooklyn Avenue at 22nd. This event will be of interest to all who enjoy clean, healthful, outdoor recreation. The day has gone by when business men look upon a holiday as a lost opportunity. It is now considered an INVESTMENT, as employer and employe alike return, not only with renewed ambition, but with new thoughts and new ideas for which Old Man Success is always on the lookout. For this reason, I recommend that every employer forget the ever present serious side of life and attend the opening baseball game at Muehlebach Field. I also recommend that every employer as far as possible give the same privilege to his employes. To set the example for this recommendation, and to demonstrate its practicality, I declare Tuesday afternoon, July third, a half holiday for all City Hall Employes, beginning at Twelve o’clock (noon). (Signed) FRANK H. CROMWELL, Mayor. -2- [page 3] Program DEDICATORY ADDRESS THOS. J. HICKEY PRESIDENT AMERICAN ASSOCIATION RESPONSE GEO. E.
