Lou Piniella Day Budweiser Sign

August 5, 1984 was "Lou Piniella Day" at Yankees Stadium. The Yankees honored "Sweet Lou," one of the most popular players to wear pinstripes during his 10 plus years with the Yankees. Piniella retired on June 16, to become the Yankees fulltime batting coach. The crowed of 30,231 witnessed a 30 minute pre-game ceremony, and a touching speech from Lou-u-u-u. Piniella thanked his family, teammates, and Yankee Fans, after being showered with gifts.

Among the gifts were; a satellite dish two trips to Hawwii, one to Acapulco, Tokyo or Hong Kong, two cars, two miniature horses, a battered water cooler and a light fixture to represent the many times Piniella's temper got the best of him, two color televisions, a stereo, VCR, a lifetime pass to Burger King, a gold watch from Anheuser-Busch, Inc., a personally installed Coca-Cola dispenser, $500. worth of free gas, a sailboard, Krugerrands and a set of golf cubs.

The red, white, blue, and black illustrated Budweiser Lou Piniella Day counter top display was issued with an easel back, and is similar to the "Part of a Proud City's Tradition" advertising campaign display signs of the late 1970s-1980s. Like the "Part of a Proud City's Tradition" counter top signs, the Lou-u-u Piniella Day signs are found in the market in unused condition.
