Matty - those are beautiful.
Jonathan - I love period notes on old programs / scorecards
Jethrod - Brown's last TD is pretty darned cool, thank you for this thread, I love scored programs


Here's my (first) post to this (hopefully) long running thread :

Sept 11, 1928 Yankee Stadium

The Babe hits #49 of the year and #465 of his career, while knocking in what prove to be the game winning runs. In response, Mr. Mack send two members of the 3000 hit club to start a rally in the 9th, but alas, Cobb pops to short in his last career at bat, and Collins does the same (he had 15 more at bats).

I'm going to love this thread, apologies in advance for posting too much, but I have over 6000 potential submissions...

Spectacular start to this thread! I've seen a few Federal League programs in various threads in this forum but never had the chance to thumb through one myself. The Ruth 701 scorecard is amazing, and the scorecard for Cobb's last at bat---not many of those can possibly exist! I'm sure we'll see some "Holy Grail" items if the thread runs long enough!

I like the scorecards from the 40s and 50s best, especially if they're signed.

I have a collection of early Red Sox programs - here are a few of my favorites (along with a 1904 Browns vs. Boston Americans program)....

Matty The Federal league programs are fantastic. Doug always nice to see anything from your 6k program collection. And the Final day Streak progeams are over the top.. Thank you all for for sharing.
Andy nice group but dig a little deeper and share some of the other Great programs in your collection.
The 48 Babe is a great program from a sad day at the Stadium.

Great programs / scorecards don't have to be older than my parents...

Here is my scorecard from Aug 12, 2018 when the Cubs beat the Nationals on a David Bote Ultimate Grand Slam.

For those who don't know, an Ultimate Grand Slam is when the home team is losing by three runs with two out in the bottom of the 9th and one swing wins it.

This scorecard embarrasses me a bit as I look at it now, as I usually keep a pitch count, and I'm surprised I didn't fill in all the final stats.

It was a pretty amazing moment to see happen,
Doug

I collect programs related to my areas of collecting focus.

One of my favorite areas are barnstorming games.

The Mays All-Stars is from the 1955 All-Star tour led by Mays and Don Newcombe. Many other greats including Hank Aaron, Ernie Banks, Larry Doby and others. In this particular game, Mays hit a walk-off HR.

The 1945 program is from a game that Satchell Paige and Bob Feller faced off. After the game, Feller famously made comments about his belief that he didn't think that Jackie Robinson (who played in the game) was a Major League player. It led to negative feelings for Jackie towards Feller for many years.

This is yet another benefit of reading fantastic posts---one can get impressed, inspired, and learn at the same time. I forgot they are called Ultimate GS's. And your post reminded me of a game that I'd attended in which A-Rod hit a walk-off grand slam in 2007. I was in NY for business but at Yankee Stadium for pleasure that day, and I know I kept both the ticket and the program from that game, and I thought for sure the visitors were down by 3 runs. But...a little research indicated that was not the case. Still, it was great to watch the YouTube video and re-live that walk-off GS again!
