1876 Boston vs NY May 6th
Two years from now will see the 150th anniversary of The National leauge. it was not smooth sailing the first decade. A number of teams came and went and those that had some stability did well. This program is from the first week of First Year of the NL. Each of the 8 teams played 70 Games. The next Two years saw the Leauge shrink to 6 teams and 60 Games 1879 things started looking up 84 games and back up to 8 teams. Collecting 1870's scorecards is a long slow process. But each new program is packed with history and I am grateful they still exist.
So....Happy to add this scorecard to my collection.
