I have a 1941 NY Yankee scorecard which I am trying to figure out whether it was one of the games from DiMaggio's hitting streak. I am looking for opinions from anyone out there to see what you think.
The actual score sheet has been written on. Having that to start with usually makes it very easy to track down the actual game. But it appears that the person who kept score didn't really know how to keep score or was just drunk during that game.
So, I used the following link as my reference:

I went thru all the home games where the Yankees played the Red Sox. None of them matched my score sheet exactly. When I went thru the play by play, I came across the following game which was very close to my score sheet.

One example of the kind of mistakes that were found in my score sheet was the following. The score sheet said that DiMaggio had 3 hits. If you look at the Baseball Reference play by play, it says that he had 1 hit and reached base by error 2 times.
So, would just love to see if you agree with me that this score sheet is game 38 of the season and it was game 10 of the 56 game hitting streak. It also took place on May 24, 1941.
Here is my score sheet.
