On this episode of Sabol Brothers on the Baseline, John and Scott take the podcast on the road! The brothers meet in the basement of retired Cleveland construction worker, stadium seat/memorabilia collector and the owner of http://originalstadiumseats.com, Sean Walsh.

Walsh has been collecting and restoring stadium seats from all around the country for decades. He massive collection ranges from Cleveland's League Park, Fenway Park, Joe Louis Arena, Wrigley Field, Tiger Stadium, Polo Ground, Yankee Stadium, Notre Dame Stadium, Boston Garden, Cleveland Municipal Stadium, and much, much more!

Walsh isn't just a collector of stadium seats and other sports memorabilia, he also helped demolish Municipal Stadium in the mid 1990s. In addition, he worked on the construction of FirstEnergy Stadium and the renovation projects at FirstEnergy and Progressive Field.

The Sabol Brothers dive deep in his Walsh's memorabilia/autograph collection, hear stories of the demolition of Municipal Stadium, what he found before it was torn down, the final days of the Richfield Coliseum, why the future of the Browns' FirstEnergy Stadium is in question, and whole lot more!

If you love Cleveland sports history and memorabilia, or if you have any interested in purchasing/restoring old stadium seats, you're going to want to listen to this episode!
