1887 First-Year Detroit Wolverines vs. Pittsburgh Alleghanies Program

1887 First-Year Detroit Wolverines vs. Pittsburgh Alleghanies Program

The Detroit Wolverines baseball team lasted just eight seasons in the late 19th Century, winning their lone championship in 1887, the year the National League came into existence. From that noteworthy season comes this marvelous scorecard, which is clean but would have been a mess had it been scored that day, seeing that Detroit pounded Pittsburgh, 18-2. The program is in EX condition due to a two-page fold and small scrapbook paper loss on the reverse. It looks even better. Detroit beat the St. Louis Browns, champion of the rival American Association, 15 games to 10 in an exhibition series that was a predecessor to the modern World Series, which did not begin until 1903.
