Boston Twilight League, 1920s
I've had this ball for a long while and just started to research the semi-pro Boston Twilight League. Formed in 1922, the league consisted of teams from Boston neighborhoods and the Boston suburbs. Former and Future major leaguers, many Red Sox, played in the league.
I have not been able to find a great amount of information on the league, but there are numerous newspaper accounts, and the Book "The New England League: A Baseball History, 1885-1949", has an extensive write up on the league. In the early days, due to the Red Sox and Braves being prohibited by law from playing on Sundays, the league would draw 10,000-15,000 spectators to a game as they had a virtual monopoly on Sunday Boston baseball. Is anyone else familiar with the league and have any information to share? Any other memorabilia from the league to show?
