Hi Everyone,

I'm normally a bat guy but I can appreciate vintage for what it is. Today at an antique mall I found this Spalding Official Base Ball Score Book in which the previous owner kept scores of games in Chicago and elsewhere including games in south eastern Wisconsin.

Some of the names included in the book include Babe Ruth (Red Sox and Yankees), Lou Gehrig, Rabbit Maranville, Napoleon Lajoie, Joe Jackson, Eddie Collins, Hank Greenberg, Chas Gehringer, George Sisler, Ki Ki Cuyler, Gabby Hartnett, Joe Sewell, Tony Lazzeri, Red Ruffing, Bill Dickey, Dave Bancroft, Grover Cleveland Alexander, etc.

All of these of course are last names but by using old rosters it is easy to figure out who they are. The scores start out in 1915 and go well into the early 1920's up to about 1922.
