Pricing & History
Circa 1880s Wright and Ditson Scorecard. The scorecard promotes Wright & Ditson's "Regulation League Ball." As stated on the scorecard, the ball, which is pictured as a drawing, was used by the College and Union Association Clubs, the Massachusetts State League and the Eastern College League, in their early days. The Union Association was a one-year major league that provided the first real challenge to baseball's reserve clause. It folded after only one season for financial reasons resulting, for the most part, from a lack of competitiveness among the league's teams and the defection of a key financial backer to the National League. Future Hall of Fame contributor George Wright headed the Boston team in the Union Association, and he also was the "Wright" in Wright & Ditson. A great item to go with any baseball collection. Neatly scored between Fryeburg Srs. & Fryeburg Jrs., presumably Fryeburg Academy of Freyburg, Maine.
