Default What Is Your Rarest 20th Century Baseball Program?

Posted By: Greg Theberge

Chris and others,

Those are great scorecards. My Sox materials are in the other thread. Here would probably be my "rarest" scorebook of defunct leagues:





1905 Scorebook for the Providence Baseball Club (Providence Grays/Clamdiggers). Doesn't get any better than Rhode Island Beer and Baseball. It's actually a booklet that would allow you to score the games for a full season. Each page is a seperate scorecard with an advertisement for a Rhode Island brewery.

And then there's my favorite little celluloid piece, which served the same purpose as the paper variety...




By the way, just got back from seeing the traveling Baseball in America exhibit from the BBHOF. Just incredibly awesome.
