Default Yankees Scorecard

Wow Joe. You had it for 15 years and just discovered its significance today. Very Cool!! I didn't know that about that game. Very intersting.

Speaking of finding significance in otherwise mundane material. A couple years ago I picked up this small scrap book filled with newspaper box scores of every single game from 1910 and 1911 and some from 1909. The owner had every game in chronological order. It's a pretty signifcant reference. It was cool lookng through all the lineups and seeing the HOFers. Also cool to see double plays turned by Tinker-Evers-Chance. In the margins the original owner neatly penciled in comments for significant games such as an Addie Joss no hitter and Cy Young's 500th win, to name a few.
