Default 19th Century Unused Ticket Stub – Questions . . .

Posted By: Joe_G.

Back to the top, I'm posting a link to this thread for a couple people and wanted it on the front page.

Also have some additional information. I was asked why there is a C. H. Smith signature on the ticket. Charles H. Smith was the president of the Detroit ball club in 1888, taking over for the far more flamboyant Frederick K. Stearns who owned Detroit during the "good year(s)". It was Frederick who was responsible for bringing the big 4 to Detroit and bringing home the 1887 Championship.

Best Regards,
Joe Gonsowski
