Because today is Major League baseball’s opening day, I thought I would present the hand recorded score card from August 23, 1889 which shows Bolton and Sagamore losing to Pearl Point and Hundred Island in Lake George.
It looks like the final score was 8-7 and Bolton and Sagamore played with only 8 players. (They had no center fielder.)
The entire card is quite readable and demonstrates just how far back our national pastime truly goes.
