Description	The Cincinnati Base Ball Club Score Book contains portraits of club officers, players, and sports editors for local newspapers; a game schedule for 1894; advertisements; and a completed scorecard for a game against St. Louis. Some of the noteworthy portraits are of William "Dummy" Hoy, a deaf center-fielder for whom umpire's hand signals were instituted; James "Bug" Holliday, a left fielder who batted.383 for the 1894 season, the highest recorded average in Reds history; and Charles Comiskey, the club manager who later became the owner of the Chicago White Sox. The 24-page score book measures 6 by 9 inches (15.24 by 22.86 cm). The Cincinnati Reds Baseball Club, known as the Red Stockings or Reds, was founded in 1866. Three years later, it became the first professional team in the United States with a full team of paid players. The Reds were charter members of the National League at its formation in 1876. During the 1894 season, the team played home games at League Park at Findlay Street and Western Avenue.
