1967 World Series Score Cards? I think? No idea

[EYECOLLECTVINTAGE]

So I acquire a 1967 World Series Program, open it up, and find this? I have never seen this before. It came with the score cards fully detailed from games 1 and 2. On the bottom says nets and gross receipts. Could this be from the team? who would know what the game made? Any input would be very much appreciated.

Am I close?

I am not sure, but it's very interesting. Looks more like a detailed score sheet to capture more complete stats. Maybe something the team or even a news outlet would use to capture the official record. Gate receipts and player pool/shares data was made available to the public, and this does look like something completed by a team official.

Ok so I am on the right track! Thanks. Any advice on how I could dig deeper into seeing where this originated from?

During the regular season visiting teams are paid a portion of the gate and I have seen such reconciliation forms when I worked in MLB. These reconsiliation forms would go to the visiting team's Traveling Secretary along with a check that was either cut right away or perhaps was mailed at a later date. However, those forms I saw never had a score sheet attached of the game. The only thing I can think of is that this might be the score sheet of the visiting team's Traveling Secretary for this particular game and this is his own personal recap with attendance and net gate profit.

Again, I do not know if this is what this is but it does make at least a small bit of sense.

That is great information thank you great to know something like this before. I really wish I could get deeper into the history of this program and scorecard but it looks like for now The idea that I could have belong to 18 official is pretty darn cool

I'm sorry I spoke that response my iPhone I meant a team official not 18 lol
