     Yes, I have great memories of seeing those Union 76 logos as a kid.  There's nothing wrong with a few sponsors as long as it doesn't get out of control in the way it has recently at Dodger Stadium.  The way I see it, those Union 76 balls represented loyalty because they were above the scoreboards since the ballpark opened in 1962.  Under the O'Malley's, the Dodger organization personified loyalty.  However, after the Fox people took over, much of that ended as Chavez Ravine filled up with advertisements of Coca Cola, Budweiser, King Taco, etc.
