Description

English-born professional baseball player and manager (1835–1895) who built the first professional baseball team, the 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1953. Original 6.5 x 4 scorecard for a 19th-century baseball game between Philadelphia Quakers and the Newark Domestics on April 24, 1885, filled out on both sides in pencil entirely in the hand of Philadelphia manager Harry Wright, who signs his initials, “H. W.,” in the scorer’s box at the bottom. In fine condition. Encapsulated in a PSA/DNA authentication holder.
