This guy gets around! Sportswriter Harold Lanigan was the recipient of these trimmed invitations and passes that all have historical significance. They include: the 1909 Dedication of Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, 1909 "Thank You" card for attending the opening of Forbes Field (missing corner), 1912 paper pass (torn and taped) to attend the opening of Navin Field in Detroit, 1910 paper pass to attend the opening of New League Park in Cleveland and 1914 paper pass to attend all games at League Park in Cleveland.
