Help with Roger Maris AAA Statistics Please
Requesting statistic assistance from someone that is a true StatHead, as I am not. I'm trying to validate some vintage items that I own regarding Roger Maris' rookie year and his minor league record. I own a vintage 1956 Wilson Scorecard book that someone meticulously kept score of several games of the St. Paul Saints. Contained therein, are scorecards of games played between the St. Paul Saints and Indianapolis Indians. The book contains several scorecards from the Saints vs. Indians, but the one that I'm really interested in is the one pictured, a game they played on April 25, 1956. Of course, Roger Maris played in AAA with the Indianapolis Indians during their 1956 Junior World Series Championship Year (where Maris also drove in 7 runs in game 2) and began his major league career in 1957.
I have searched the internet but have been unable to find a game log for the 1956 Indianapolis Indians. I can find the season started on April 17, 1956 but not when their first game was. My scorecard is a record from April 25, only 8 days later. I'm trying to verify if I have a scorecard from his first AAA game (maybe the first on the road). I own his first game Cleveland Indians Scorecard and thought this would be fantastic if it was his first minor league AAA game.
I hope I didn't bore you and really appreciate any insight.
