If anyone's interested in reading some more about the great Orioles teams of 1919-25, I wrote a story about Bentley's teammate and fellow pitcher Harry Frank who played on those teams from 1919-1924. You can read it HERE.

Years ago when my dad died I had the responsibility of going through some of his things. In this process I found several ticket stubs to the old Lexington ball park (St. Paul). They were dated 1923 and 1924. One of the stubs had printed on it "game 9". I couldn't figure out what game that could have been. Recently I read a SABR article dealing with the 1924 Little World Series between the St Paul Saints and the Baltimore Orioles (Won by the Saints in 10 games) It was only then did I realize I had a ticket stub from game 9 of that series. Guess who my dad saw pitching for the Orioles that day - Lefty Grove.

Yeah, let's see that ticket! I've never seen one of those. Also, can you tell me what SABR publication you read that article on the '24 LWS in? I think I'm going to write a small book on those Orioles teams and I'd like to find all the reference I can.

I love the path this thread has taken, all because I sold an obscure Exhibit of John Bentley to Chris. It could only happen on net54!

The SABR article can be found in THE NATIONAL PASTIME, A REVIEW OF BASEBALL HISTORY, vol 28, 2008. The article is written by Roger A. Godin
These are my dad,s old ticket stubs. The one to the far right is game nine. |
