What an amazing scorecard, Peter! Thanks for sharing! I was born in Brooklyn and need to figure out where I lived relative to that ball park. Curious now!

Is 5th and 3rd the JJ Byrne Playground now?

Correct, Washington Park actually still technically exists as a strip of turf next to the Old Stone House and JJ Byrne. Little league baseball and soccer are still played in it.

Some beautiful programs here!

Love the graphics on this one. May 12, 1906 at Hilltop Park. Addie Joss leads Lajoie and the Naps over the Highlanders 2-0, pitching an 11 inning shutout.

SWEET scorebook! Do you mind showing the scorepage if it's been scored?
Congrats if you own this in your collection.
Very, very, cool!

Here's another one...August 1901 between N.Y. Giants and Brooklyn Superbas.

Second game of a doubleheader, Giants win 4-1 behind a CG (0 ER) by the rookie Mathewson.
