Lynn Base Ball Association Grand Assembly Dance Card
by Lynn Base Ball Association
- Used
- near fine
Lynn, Massachusetts: Lynn Base Ball Association, 1903. Booklet. Near Fine. 32mo. The dance card is for the "Grand Assembly and Dance Under the Auspices of Lynn Base Ball Association" held at the East Lynn Odd Fellows' Hall on Friday evening, April 3rd, 1903. The cover illustration shows a player being tagged out as he slides into base. The four-page cardboard program is unused. The "Order of Dances" include several with baseball titles, "The Opening Game," "Base Hit," "Our Captain," "Home Run," etc. The rear cover lists organizers of the dance, presumably players for the team. This very attractive dance card has not been filled out and includes the original string tie. Scarce.
The Lynn Base Ball Association was founded in 1875, and at various times it fielded independent teams or a mid-level American League minor league team in the New England League.
