John Ward Old Judge
Captin John Ward.Unfortunately the Foxxing is a distraction. But happy to have any OJ HOF with such a sharp clear picture. My oldest Ward item is this 1882 Scorecard with him playing for Providence NL.
Ward played for Providence for 5 seasons mostly as a pitcher. Winning 47 games in 1878. In 1892 he was second fiddle to Hoss Radbourne but still won 19 games.pitched until 1884 then reinvented himsel with speed. He stole 111 bases in a single season with the Giants. NY was where he found team success, 88 and 89 NL champs. In 94 He played in the First Temple cup winning over Baltimore.
