New York Subway Series Game-used Base
from Yankee Stadium, Mets vs Yankees game
played on August 14, 2017. This was third base for this
game, used from the 6th inning to the
9th. Two sides have 1-1/4 x 6-1/2 inch
inlaid Logo plaques featuring the Yankees
Logo opposite of one another, and two sides have the New
York Mets vs Yankees Logo. The
underside is noted "3rd, 6-9 Inn,
8-14-17," and the MLB authenticating
Hologram. The top of the base has the
2009-Present, Jack Corbett Hollywood
Base Logo.
In 1996 Schutt Sports acquired Hollywood Bases Inc., of Marysville, Calif.
"Hollywood" had been a supplier to the
Major Leagues since 1939. John "Jack"
P. Corbett patented the base in 1944,
and the rubber base was first used in
the Major Leagues in 1940. Schutt added
their own embossed logo which reads;
"Original Hollywood Base, Jack Corbett,
ŪSchutt Sports" with an illustration of
runner sliding into a base on the far
right. Below features the Official MLB
logo. Inlaid plastic logos were added
to the four sides of the bases in 2000.
In 2009 Schutt Sports changed the logo
again, which is still used today.
