Free? Wow. Very cool. It’s ironic….just yesterday my daughter had a soccer game at the field of a local middle school that was built in the 1960s (I would guess). At the back of the school was an old football scoreboard, not that different from your scoreboard, about the same size but maybe older. It clearly had not been used in decades, and football had not been played on that grass field for many years. A couple of the dads and I discussed that it would be cool if we could get and restore the scoreboard…..and here you got one for free. Congrats!

Thanks Joe. That is ironic and would be cool if you were able to restore it. It was perfect timing b/c they purchased a new scoreboard and they were going to cut this one up for the scrap pile.

Those lucky strike and tuxedo posters are beautiful. The scoreboard is such a cool item. I am trying to think what I would do with it. Basement wall or put up in back yard perhaps. Definitely needs illumination. Man thdtxwalter tuxedo is beautiful.

Just got this ticket. Honus Wagner's last two hits of 1913. Clinches .300 Batting Ave. for last time in his career. He went 0-3 the next day to drop his average to .300 and then didn't play in the final two games. I would imagine Fred Clarke sat him to keep that intact. Anyone else think that was the case??
