Default Sorry for the duplicate post - I may have posted this in someone's personal thread
Minneapolis Millers(1906-1913) / Boston Red Sox (1915-1919) Scorebook

....includes some guy named Ruth and many Red Sox Games.

Features one pitching matchup of Babe Ruth vs Walter Johnson, not a bad summer afternoon dual between the veteran and the young kid.
(Spoiler alert - the kid gets rocked and WJ shuts out the Sox).

Also, one of the games is Ruth's 1st career Save, not that Ruth knew what the hell a Save was.

Not sure what the Minneapolis & Boston connection is, a scorekeeper who finally got The Call, or a Reporter who was re-assigned/relocated or a fan who followed both teams.
Maybe I'll find something going through the pages, maybe not.

I love a good mystery......as you know.
