Hi Paul,

That is a great looking scorebook. Is there a handwritten name anywhere that could pinpoint the owner maybe(?). The scorecard results pictured from the Minneapolis v Toldeo game from May 5, 1906 is accurate. Historical records show that the game was played on Sunday and the Millers won 2-1. The game was played at Minnehaha Driving Park. I wasn’t aware of that until now. And actually, I learned something even better. The Minnehaha Driving Park is located right outside my back door!!!? I’m not kidding!! The park was located off Hiawatha and 36th in Minneapolis. My god! My jaw just dropped and I have chills. I would love to own that card and frame it in my home. I have lived here for 10 years and until tonight never knew that!

May 10, 1911 – Otis Clymer hits in his 28th straight game, breaking the "world" record for hitting, according to the Minneapolis Tribune, before being ejected by Umpire Charles Ferguson.

Baseball HOFers that played for the Millers during 1906-1913 include: Jimmy Collins (1909), Red Faber (1911-12), Rube Waddell (1911-12).

Gavvy Cravath played for the Millers (1909-11). he led the National League in home runs six times and was one of the sport's most prolific power hitters of the dead-ball era
