Fascinating history in this 1920 scorecard from a local baseball rivalry carried to major league extremes. Attleboro and North Attleboro engaged in an annual baseball series but the stakes grew as each town entered a bidding war for Major Leaguers to participate in the originally-local affair. This is from an October 17, 1920, game - the third of the day. Names on the 7x11" card stock scorecard for Attleboro include: Heinie Groh, Sam Rice, George Sisler, Rogers Hornsby, Rabbit Maranville, Grover Alexander. Names for North Attelboro include: Stuffy McInnis, Eddie Collins, Joe Dugan, and more. Card is unscored, folded in quarters with 1920 lightly in pencil on top, but presents very clearly. Also included is a copy of a local newspaper clipping describing the day's action.
