Original 6.5 x 4 scorecard for a 19th-century baseball game between Philadelphia Quakers who Wright managed, and the Newark Domestics on April 24, 1885. It is filled out on both sides in pencil entirely in the hand of manager Harry Wright, who signs his initials, “H. W.,” in the scorer’s box at the bottom. In very nice condition.
