Thanks Scott! I can't believe how fast the 1st 20 years went...

Scott, that's a great story and a great pickup. That's also one of the weakest Yankees lineups I've ever seen with Mel Hall batting cleanup ...

Chris,
You are right, that was a pretty weak Yankees lineup. I remember that the Tigers went off on Yanks pitching, homering 5 times in the game. I looked it up and Lemon, Schu, ward, K. Williams and Bergman all homered for the Tigs. We were sitting in row 1 on the railing on the first base line right next to the Yankees bullpen. I still remember Goose Gossage coming in to eat up some innnings in relief. He was great to watch up close. It seemed to me that he was really bringing it. The sound of his fastball hitting the catchers mitt sounded like a gunshot. Whack!! Whack!! Good times!

Don't have it in hand yet, but it seems interesting:

Rob I am wondering if the Cleveland City Council had a regular game each year with the Detroit Police and Cleveland Police. Check out the ball below and you will see why I think this is possible. Sept. 5, 1889 is there anything on the back? Thanks! D.
