Very cool scorecard!

That Lowell - Lynn scorecard is cool. I believe a relative is in the lineup for Lowell and looks like the game was played same month/day as my birthday.

Alan,
Milford never had a team in the New England League (1885-1915) and Nashua was only a member 1901-5, so that scorecard is for a clash of town teams.
Always an editor, I must also point out that the Joseph Burns tag is from an Eastern League game since the NEL disbanded after 1915. Chris's 1907 scorecard also is not NEL since Portland did not have a team in the league that year.

Thank you Bob! I always appreciate the corrections. I have had both the scorecard and the hangtag classified as NE League for a while but I see what you mean. I had started to research the scorecard before I posted it and I think I stopped when I saw one of the two teams in the league in the 1880s.

That is cool regarding your relative Peter! Who was he? What teams did he play for?

Edited to add that the Nashua team played in the NEL post 1900 so I don't know why I thought it was an 1880s NEL item (plus the fact that Milford never had a team in the league).

Here is a Lowell Team Composite from 1904 showing the 1903 team.

I believe I'm a relative of Cuke Barrows who was a star when he played for Lowell. The Chicago White Sox brought him up a few times but he never was as good as when he played for Lowell.

I'd be interested if you want to sell.

I will post some other of portland items. But I would like to ask if anyone has a scorecard from 1925- 1927 with Sterling listed as a player. I have been looking for 50 years for one...He is my Grandfather.
