This is what I believe to be the official scorekeeper's scorebook for Shibe Park (Philadelphia) for games from the end of the 1945 season and first half of 1946. It has the home games for the Phillies and the A's. The cool part is that it also has several games between the Negro League teams including the Philadelphia Stars, Newark Eagles, New York Black Yankees, Memphis Red Sox, Chicago American Giants and Baltimore Elite Giants. This was a pivotal time just at the end of WWII, when many ballplayers were coming back from military service, and just before Jackie Robinson began the integration of baseball in 1947 (which was the beginning of the end for the Negro Leagues). Some of the Negro League players include: Willie Wells, Monte Irvin, Biz Mackey, Don Newcombe, Roy Campanella, Buzz Clarkson, Harry Simpson Larry Doby and Leon Day.
