The
"Hall of Fame Baseball Quiz" placemats were produced
by Papererades Inc., a specialty paper
manufacturer of restaurant placemats,
located in Rhode Island. Placemats such
as these were used by restaurants to
keep their patrons entertained,
educated, and amused while they were
waiting for their meals to be served.
They were meant to be used once and
discarded.
The
two black and blue print, "Hall of Fame Baseball
Quiz" placemat depicts pinstripe
uniform number 3 Babe Ruth swinging for
the fences on the right. The top
features twelve Hall of Famers in
numbered circles. Theses are the
answers to the 12 fill-in-the-blank
statements below them. "See if you can
match these famous Hall of Fame members
with the correct description." For
Example first statement (A) from the
Placemat below:
"A___ Star 3rd Baseman of Baltimore Orioles; Manager of N.Y. Giants for 50
years, starting in 1902; won ten
pennants, three World Championships"
The answers are at the bottom, upside

At the bottom sandwiched between two
baseball action sketches read:
"Candidates shall be chosen on the
basis of playing ability, integrity,
sportsmanship, character, and their
contribution to the team, on which they
played and to baseball in general. ~
