Love the graphics on this one. May 12, 1906 at Hilltop Park. Addie Joss leads Lajoie and the Naps over the Highlanders 2-0, pitching an 11 inning shutout.

SWEET scorebook! Do you mind showing the scorepage if it's been scored?
Congrats if you own this in your collection.
Very, very, cool!

Thanks Scott, yes in my collection, and scored.

Here's another one...August 1901 between N.Y. Giants and Brooklyn Superbas.

Second game of a doubleheader, Giants win 4-1 behind a CG (0 ER) by the rookie Mathewson.

Picked this up at a local show and have a few questions. I’m always looking to learn more about our hobby.

1. Is it more desirable for collectors to have it scored or unscored?
2. I tried looking at Baseball Reference for the exact game and couldn’t locate it. I’m guessing these were pre printed with an expected lineup and the scorecard was adjusted at first pitch?
3. I’m not looking to sell it, I just think it’s a cool piece with Mantle and Berra on it, but would like an idea of value.

Thanks all!

****Correction - has to be a game in Washington - check those.***

Hi - did a quick look at the Senators schedule in 1954 and clicked on box scores for games against Yankees.

Sat, July 3 looks close:

It's from the July 9-10-11 series.

Killebrew is on the Senators roster, he signed on June 19, 1954

Houk is on the Yankees roster, he was released on July 22, 1954

None of the lineups exactly match, but I would guess it's the July 10 game.

Thank you to Retrosheet for the info (which Baseball Reference uses for their site).

No opinion on value from me, I only collect scored programs and scorecards. If it is that game, some would claim that Whitey Ford got his second career save, a (stupid) stat that didn't exist yet. Bob Wiesler did get his second career win and his second career hit. Bunky Stewart got on base for the second time in his career.

Thank you for the info Doug, much appreciated.

Longest game ever played at Dodgers Stadium.

May 24, 1973

Willie Davis got 6 hits for the Dodgers in a loss to the Mets.

Fully scored with a stub.

The legendary infield members Lopes-Russell-Cey each played the full game, with Bill Bucknor at first. Garvey pinch hit in the 15th.
