Something Fishy On This "1915" Scorecard
 
https://www.ebay.com/itm/1915-Boston...UAAOSwkzhbeEFq

Front cover indicates it is a 1915 program.

Inside has batting averages for "previous" 1913 season.

Lineups feature the 1914 Red Sox lineup (Hugh Bedient jumped to Federal League in 1915) and :eek: post 1920 Indians lineup with Joe Sewell (debuted 1920).

Tris Speaker is listed on both Boston and Cleveland's lineups.

Paper/printing looks off.

Did someone make a bad fake?

That’s a head scratcher.

The movie prop theory makes sense. I have a 1940 Reds program that was made for the movie, "The Natural." One lineup shows the "New York Knights," while the other shows some made up lineup that doesn't make sense chronologically. There's no way Tris Speaker could play centerfield for both teams, especially for one that didn't exist in 1915.
