I was able to add another PCL San Diego Padres Scorecard to my collection. I really like the purple tint on this and that it is from Baseball’s Centennial.

Finally taking the time to jump into this great thread. I love scorecards and the research it sometimes takes to figure if anything of significance happened at the game.

Here's one I have scans of - it's from an American Association (Major league) game that took place June, 18, 1884 in Washington Park just a few blocks from where I used to live in Brooklyn. It captures a game against Toledo which included Moses Fleetwood Walker, (lesser) known to be the first Black player to play in the majors. I cannot find any other item, image, anything - that captures Fleetwood on the Toledo team as a major leaguer; the known items are from his college or local team days. Not in great shape but it exists!

Peter,
Happy New Year!
Congrats & that is a great scorecard.
Moses Fleetwood Walker is obviously huge for baseball and Toledo history.
I live 20 minutes away from Toledo...
Very cool piece of history!

What an amazing scorecard, Peter! Thanks for sharing! I was born in Brooklyn and need to figure out where I lived relative to that ball park. Curious now!

Is 5th and 3rd the JJ Byrne Playground now?

Correct, Washington Park actually still technically exists as a strip of turf next to the Old Stone House and JJ Byrne. Little league baseball and soccer are still played in it.

Some beautiful programs here!

Love the graphics on this one. May 12, 1906 at Hilltop Park. Addie Joss leads Lajoie and the Naps over the Highlanders 2-0, pitching an 11 inning shutout.

SWEET scorebook! Do you mind showing the scorepage if it's been scored?
Congrats if you own this in your collection.
Very, very, cool!
