I recently got out, and dusted off, my old 1895 scorebook that contains three games of the Negro Cuban Giants team (including Frank Grant).
The scorebook was the team scorebook for the Hagerstown independent minor league team. It seems the Giants played several games against the Cumberland Valley League teams which included teams such as Hagerstown, Chambersburg, Hanover and a few others.
The reason I pulled this scorebook out was that I recently saw a broadside in the last Hunt auction that was for a c. 1895 game between Chambersburg and the Cuban Giants (see bottom below). Would of tied the two together but the auction price prevented that from actually happening (it went for $8,500
).
