Item Description
6x9.25" w/eight pages. Given the scarcity of 19th century baseball scorecards, this 1898 example surpasses most others in terms of presentation as well as historical importance. In addition to much local advertising, nearly every Chicago team member is illustrated here (portrait images in dapper attire), including a pair of future National Baseball Hall of Famers, Clark Griffith and Frank Chance, during Chance's first professional baseball season of 1898. In addition, the visiting Philadelphia ball club presents a "heart of the order" like no other: Ed Delahanty batting third, Nap Lajoie at clean-up and another rookie appearance, Elmer Flick, batting fifth, Hall of Famers all. Program has been scored in pencil. Faint creases and handling wear but still very nice overall given its age and light paper stock. Fine.
