Harry Wright Scorebooks 1889-1890
I own the complete Harry Wright 1889 scorebook which covers spring training through post season exhibition games.
At one time the 1889 season was bound together with three "booklets" of the 1890 season. Written in Harry's hand at top are
No. 1 - 1890 / Feb 20th to March 26th 1890
No. 2 - 1890 / March 27th to April 28th 1890
No. 3 - 1890 / April 29th to May 21st 1890
I bought No. 1 at Lelands in 1991
I bought No. 3 at Sloates in 1998
Somewhere out there is No. 2. I believe it was sold as Lot 431 of the Mastro July 16,17 1998 auction, but under a careless and incorrect description, for the accompanying picture is of No. 1. Assuming Mastros did have one of the pamphlets for sale, it could not have been either No. 1 or No. 3, for both were on my library shelf at the time.
