Rob- those 1863 Grand Match tickets were admittance for a cricket match. From what I've read from newspaper accounts, and cited in my text, no baseball game was played due to bad weather. They are undoubtedly very early, but I don't feel comfortable calling them baseball tickets.

Thanks Jimmy, I've never seen that. It's a bit gimmicky so not a real baseball contest.

Winslow White Stockings
Quote:
My best guess is that this ticket was for a club team from Winslow, Wisconsin. Please make note of the fact that the ticket was printed in Wisconsin and there is, in fact, a Winslow, WI. I hope this helps! BTW, I do like your ticket. Very nice!! Last edited by Scott Garner; 06-09-2011 at 07:34 AM.

Thanks!

BTW, I have always enjoyed collecting baseball tickets. I have been collecting them since 1972. I always have felt that a baseball ticket offers a direct link to a specific date in baseball history from the fans perspective. Pretty cool!

Winslow, Illinois
GGterps & Scott Garner,
I have devled a little into the Winslow ticket, I have not found much yet. I do think the White Stockings may have been Located in Illinois. If you look at the names on the ticket (Stewart, McManigal, & Shippy) you will notice town names are listed to the right of each name. (Winslow, Lena, & McConnells Grove) These towns are all located in Illinois, Lena & McConnells are very close to Winslow, Illinois. All are very close to the border of Wisconsin, so the Team still could have been located there? My guess is Illinois?? Last edited by smokelessjoe; 06-09-2011 at 10:21 AM.
