Default July Pickup Thread-

Posted By: Alan Elefson

Hi-
I recently picked up the two programs scanned below. The 1885 program cost me a little more than my usual finds, but I really enjoy owning a pre 1900 scorecard (and it wasn't as expensive as it could have been, because of the tape holding the two pages together). It is from the Eastern League, and while there are no Hall of Famers, many of the players on both teams made it to the Majors at least briefly.
The second scorecard was a Brimfield find (5.00) last week. It shows a group of doctors versus a group of lawyers, and it is from 1902. The game was played at a ballpark in New Hampshire that also hosted early minor league games. I really like how both teams are pictured in their work attire. As usualy, any additional information about either of these programs would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Alan Elefson
