Gothamite Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Cruising memorabilia auctions, I happened upon this:1975 Bill Madlock's All-Star MVP Award (American Memorabilia auction)I can't find the old conversation concerning this logo, but I seem to recall that MLB used it as a logo for the Commissioner's office after the new logo was introduced. We now know that it was used by MLB at least through 1975 in some capacity. Seems strange that they wouldn't use the official MLB logo on an All-Starr MVP trophy, doesn't it?

STL FANATIC Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 The only part that's not surprising is that it's called the Commisioner's Award.Still, I woulda expected the MLB logo on there. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog64 Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 To recap-this was called the Commissioner's mark, and was a visual staple of the Bowie Kuhn years. Discarded in the very early '80s. Used on letterheads from the Commissioner's office, playoff ticket stubs bearing his signature, never really appearing on licensed goods, with the exception of the 1970 All Star Game program cover.
