1903-1911 Detroit BB Club Expense Ledger?

[Joe_G.]

Very nice piece Joe !!

My how salaries rose over ~20 years. Here is what the 1887 Wolverines came in at:

Manager
Bill Watkins => $3,000

Catchers
Charles Bennett => $3,000
Fatty Briody => $1,750
Charlie Ganzel => $2,000
Sy Sutcliffe => ?

Pitchers
Lady Baldwin => $3,200
Ed Beatin => ?
Bill Burke => $2,000
Pete Conway => ?
Charlie Getzien => $2,000
Henry Gruber => ?
Larry Twitchell => $1,200 (also played LF)
Stump Wiedman => $1,750

Fielders
Dan Brouthers => $4,000
Fred Dunlap => $4,500
Deacon White => $3,500
Jack Rowe => $3,500
Sam Thompson => $2,200
Ned Hanlon => $2,200
Hardy Richardson => $4,000
Billy Shindle => $1,750
Jimmy Manning => ?

Estimating an additional $7,000 for the five missing players and the team's total comes in at ~$55.5k. This information may seem a bit O/T but Joe might find it interesting.

So Joe, how and when did you acquire such a neat piece?
