The Elites
The Elite Giants held their spring training here in Nashville in 1946, but I believe that Campy and Wright had left the Baltimore team after the 1945 season. Seems like Wright went to Mexico to play, and Campanella signed with the Brooklyn Ddgers in 1946. If that is so, then the scoring page shown would be from 1945...

Just ran across another game that I found interesting if not a little humorous from a Philadelphia vs St. Louis Brown's 1945 game. Pete Gray coming in to pinch hit in the ninth inning for catcher Frank Mancuso. Could you imagine hearing from your coach, "you ain't hitting worth a crap so we're putting in the guy with one arm to hit for you".

You are absolutely correct Skip. That page was from August 30th, 1945. That was the first game of a double-header at Shibe Park for the Negro National League. The second game was the Philadelphia Stars and the Newark Eagles. Interesting that they had four different teams play in the double-header.

Rob, awesome find for you. I have a couple of scorebooks that Jim Turner's daughter Jackie kept when her father was pitching coach for the Yankees. I'll have to dig those out and see if there are any games outside of the majors that are scored...
...I also liked your 'one-armed' comment!
