Five days into the month and no pickup thread yet? I guess I'll start one.
I picked up this Winter 1947 Puerto Rican Winter League scorebook to add to my collection. Several negro league players are spread around throughout the scorebook. This was on the eve of Robinson breaking the barrier just a few months later. There were six teams in the league: Caguas-Guayama, Ponce, Mayaguez, Aquadilla, San Juan and Santurce. This scorebook was the official team scorebook of Caguas-Guayama. They would go on to play in the championship playoff against Ponce to end the season. They also played a game against the Yankees. Some of the recognizable names include: Willard Brown (won triple crown), Dan Bankhead, Buster Clarkson, Monty Irvin, Larry Doby (Dobby in the scorebook), Alomar (Sandy Sr's dad), Hairston, Pedro Cepeda (Orlano's dad), Colmbre and others.
