Joe Bowman First Major League Night Game Handwritten Letter
Under the lights for the first time, Phillies pitcher Joe Bowman recalls, in this handwritten , how on that day - or, we mean, night - of May 24, 1935, when Major League Baseball hosted their first night game at Crosley Field in Cincinnati, “the lights in the Cincinnati park for that first nite game were a big improvement over the Minor League park in which I had pitched". It seems the minor league circuit had a few years on the Majors as far as night baseball was concerned. The Cincinnati Reds beat Bowman’s Phillies that night, 2-1. Writing what is now historically rich content, Bowman - who was the starting pitcher that night - signed (9/10) at the end of the letter on paper that is EX.
