Description
Full color 10″ x 13 1/2″ ad that claims that “Baseball and Coke grew up together”. There is a picture of a young man sitting on the bench, an assemblage of bats behind him, smiling and drinking a Coke. There is another man standing behind him holding a glove as a red flag is flying behind him. There is a string of flags on the right side of the ad. These flags say the 75th Anniversary for the National League, the 50th Anniversary for the American League, the 50th Anniversary for the Minor Leagues and the 65th Anniversary for Coca-Cola. The text of the ad congratulates all of the people who play this game and they say that they “have come to know that all play calls for a pause – the pause that refreshes with ice-cold Coca-Cola.
