October pickups

[ramram]

Just added this guy to my scorebook collection. It contains all of the 1915 World Series games between the Red Sox and Phillies. Most importantly it has 20 year old Babe Ruth's first World Series appearance. The Red Sox were pretty loaded that year, winning the World Series 4 games to 1, so Ruth only had one appearance in the Series - batting as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning of game one in the Sox only loss. The Phillies won this game 3-1 with Grover Cleveland Alexander out dueling Ernie Shore.

This scorebook was likely either kept by a Philadelphia reporter or a team official. In addition to the scorekeeping, there are notes regarding the attendance as well as the gate receipts. It also has several of the Phillies pre-season games from Florida prior to the 1917 season.

I have been looking for one of these for a while. I see them up on ebay about 1 per year, but always seem to either forget or just miss out pulling the trigger.

As an avid Red Sox collector, I find this to be an awesome item. Most likely it was someone that worked for the Phillies. Where did you find it?

Hey John,

I picked it up from another collector who previously had it for a decade or two.
