Box Score of 1894 game
 

How can I find out who played specific game during 1894? All data I found contains the boxscore only but not the lineup. Any advice? I am interested in specific game ticket but I need to know if he played that game or not.

Did you google "1894 baseball box scores" You might try that, I found a few when I did that. What team and player are you looking for?

Cincinnati Reds Wm Hoy.

usually the link below is good for boxscores but for that year they only have who they played...no boxscores. Sorry

Have you tried Retrosheet?
http://www.retrosheet.org/

Their boxscores are pretty detailed...

If you can't extract the required information there,
try signing in and asking at their associated Retrolist forum --

I checked retrosheet but they don't have box scores going that far back, just line scores. New York Times might have them, if you can get into their history. I used to use the Times microfilms but that probably no longer exists.

What is the specific date of the game you are looking for?

thanks guys for your inputs. I went ahead and won this ticket. 115 years old game ticket, too hard to resist. :)
the game is June 29, 1894. Cincy vs Washington.

SABR members can search Paper of Record as part of their membership. I took a quick search for "hoy" in June/July 1894 in The Sporting News and didn't get any relevant hits.

I'll try and dig up the boxscore later
