This ashtray was presented to my grandfather from Bill Shea. My grandfather Eric James Treulich who was on the NYC counsel was the one who suggested that the park be named Shea stadium. This can be verified by doing a Google search for Eric Treulich shea stadium. "The facility’s original name was Flushing Meadows Municipal Stadium. Other names were considered, but Mayor Wagner and his administration decided to rename it for Bill Shea – over the latter’s protests.ix Queens politician Eric J. Treulich first made the proposal on October 30, 1962, and the City Council made it official on January 15, 1963.x Department store executive Bernard Gimbel – another member of Mayor Wagner’s four-man committee – also gets credit for the renaming effort.
