Just an FYI - the 1885 Richmond Virginians are the other team, not Newark.
As many of you are no doubt aware, when Wright's scorebooks were destroyed we were all left with individual pages with half of the scorecard from one game, and half of the scorecard from another game.
I could be wrong, but I believe that the page initialed by Wright is actually from a game his Quakers played in Richmond prior to the Game against Newark on April 24.
I am not an expert on 19th century teams, but what I'm finding on the interwebs with bad reception on a Delta flight, leads me to think these were both preseason games.
No disrespect intended Ryan, you didn't destroy them, but if I ever win big in the lotto (and I don't buy tickets, making for impossibly slim odds) I will attempt to reconstruct the Wright scorebooks.
