Scorecard from DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak?

[doug.goodman]

Thank you for the better quality scan Howard.

I agree that this program is scored for the May 24 game.

It's not scored particularly well, but it is (in my opinion) from that game.

I have nearly 6,000 scored programs & scorecards, so I consider myself to be pretty good at dating them.

Some notations don't make sense (like the marks by Grove, even though he didn't appear in this game), but there are too many matches to the box score for it to be any other game.

Ruffing pinch hit, so that explains the mark by his name, but weird that none of the three Yankee pitchers are marked.

Before anybody asks, Grove only appeared in two games versus the Yankees in 1941, and this scorecard is definitely not from either of those games, and Ruffing did not appear in either of those games.

Doug,

Thanks for looking at it. I trust your judgement.

There were several flaws in the score card. For example, he had the Red Sox winning 3-2. In 1941, there were no games with the same score between the 2 teams at Yankees Stadium. He also did not score the top of the first inning.
But there were several innings which matched exactly to the box score from Baseball Reference.
So far, I am convinced that this is a scorecard from the hitting streak. Now that you have also confirmed it, I feel even better about it.
