19th century

I do love this thread; I'm sure I'll be back to it repeatedly.

Here's one from my collection; I don't have much left but this one is one of my favorite pieces.

I recently got out, and dusted off, my old 1895 scorebook that contains three games of the Negro Cuban Giants team (including Frank Grant).

The scorebook was the team scorebook for the Hagerstown independent minor league team. It seems the Giants played several games against the Cumberland Valley League teams which included teams such as Hagerstown, Chambersburg, Hanover and a few others.

The reason I pulled this scorebook out was that I recently saw a broadside in the last Hunt auction that was for a c. 1895 game between Chambersburg and the Cuban Giants (see bottom below). Would of tied the two together but the auction price prevented that from actually happening (it went for $8,500 ).

Great Hines and Glasscock cards! I used to have a Troy Haymaker Stereoview card but sold it years ago. It wouldn't be a 19th thread unless we show a baseball currency. This one is the back from the scarce 1893 Series which has all All Stars on it.

Don't think we've seen any Gypsy Queens yet

I suffered a very uneasy feeling watching Mr. Rowe laboring on his bike; it must have been very hard on the testicles and he appears to be showing the strain.

I know it is an old trivia question, but a good one to know: Who is the only Hof'er to appear on both the N172 and T206 sets?

That would be Jake Beckley, Hugh Duffy and Clark Griffith, though I'm not sure they are one person.
