July 4th, exactly one hundred years ago, the Reds and Cubs struggled to a 2-2 tie at West Side Park. Game was called in 10th because both teams had to catch a train. Three Finger Brown pitched in relief for King Cole, the latter the ERA winner of 1911.

Score of that game in scorebook. Sorry for poor quality.

Very neat piece. Isn't that a scorebook? What are some of the other games?

Yes, I had to clarify that it was a scorebook. I wish it was a whole season in the book but there are only a handful of games. However, it includes the great 1910-1911 Cubs against players like Mathewson and Wagner.

It's very difficult to find a whole season in one book. Most fans only go to a handful of games; you would need to find an official scorer's book to get every game. But you have a vintage year with some key HOFers. Thanks for showing it, on the eve of its centennial.
