Description: Significant May 29,1895 Dartmouth vs. Cuban Giants scorebook. Extremely rare 19th century printed scorecard from a game played between the Dartmouth baseball team and the mighty Cuban Giants with players incl. Frank Grant, John Patterson, Clarence Williams, and James Robinson. The Cuban Giants were the first professional black baseball team in history and fielded some of the strongest teams of the 19th century. Frank Grant was regarded as one of the finest players of the era and if given the opportunity could have easily played for any Major League team but instead was run out of the International league due to his race then joining the Giants team. Unscored six page scorebook with Dartmouth schedule for 1895 (incl. another game w/Cuban Giants). One of the earliest Negro League related scorebooks extant: EX/MT-NM
