Up for your consideration is an exceptional example of a 1911 Chicago Cubs Program.
The front cover of this scarce program features an illustrated color portrait of Chicago Cub Hall of Famer Frank Chance.
While there are some minor flaws, the colors are vivid as ever and this piece of Cubs history displays fantastically.
The scorecard portion is not scored, however we were able to pinpoint this to the September 19th to 22nd series between the Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia Phillies. We were able to do so by identifying Rowman on the Cubs roster who was traded to them on August 18 1911. The phillies would not come to Chicago again until September. Furthermore, we feel confident narrowing it down even more to the games played on the 20th and 21st. We were able to do this by looking up the weather reports from those days in Chicago and seeing that there was light rain and clouds in the area. Due to the program showing minor evidence of once being wet in some areas we feel there is a very good chance this was aquired at the game. The weather was clear on the 19th and 22nd so we feel confident in our assessment.
Grover Alexander is listed as the starting pitcher for the Phillies.
This program is absolutely loaded with Hall of Famers including Grover Alexander, Mordecai Brown, Frank Chance, Johnny Evers and Joe Tinker.
These 1911 beauties are elusive and are rarely found in any condition.
A true historical baseball artifact from a time when baseball was just a game.
