Salvino's Bammers Omar Vizquel #13 Cleveland Indians Stadium Exclusive Bear

This is a vintage plush beanie-style bear produced by Salvino's Bammers, featuring a vibrant red synthetic fabric body and a black plastic nose and eyes. The item is approximately 8 to 9 inches long and is filled with PVC or PE pellets typical of late 1990s collectibles. On the left chest area, there is a prominent square white patch depicting the vintage Cleveland Indians Chief Wahoo logo, and the player number '13' is embroidered in blue thread on the right chest. This specific bear was released as a 'Stadium Exclusive' on May 1st, 1999, to commemorate All-Star shortstop Omar Vizquel. It retains its original bi-fold hang tag, which includes Vizquel's career stats, a tribute quote, and official MLB licensing. The condition appears to be excellent or 'near mint' with the tag intact, showing no visible stains, tears, or fading to the fabric. The stitching is tight, reflecting the quality-controlled mass manufacturing of the era's sports memorabilia craze. As a stadium giveaway item, its value is tied to both the popularity of the player and the historical context of the 1990s Cleveland Indians era.
