The second ticket from the top is of particular note.
On 9/25/09 the A's and Cleveland played a doubleheader. In the 1st game, HOF Eddie Plank was the winning pitcher (shutout). The second game featured a terrific pitchers duel between HOF Addie Joss and HOF Chief Bender. Bender and the A's prevailed, shutting out CLE 3-0.
Neat ticket!  |
Thanks! I do have some accounts and the boxscores from each of the games. In the clipping I have about that 1909 doubleheader it has Bender beating Joss 5-0 (with CLE making 6 errors) in the first game and Morgan beating Falkenberg 3-0 in the second game. I'll try to attach it and hope it's readable.
In the other games:
5/2/1908, the A's scored two runs on Boston errors in the 3rd, Dygert with the win, Winters, the loss.
8/20/10 Chief Bender beats Irv Young
5/30/11 Harry Krause shuts out Lew Brockett and the Highlanders.
9/6/13 Bob Shawkey beats Fred Anderson, Collins and Baker score 3 runs each and Tris Speaker goes 3 for 4.
