The 1912 Red Sox Cash Out


In 1912, the Boston Red Sox beat the NY Giants in a thrilling eight game World Series. (Game Two was called in the eleventh inning due to darkness.) It was baseball’s first truly exciting World Series (the first World Series was in 1903).

Immediately following the final game, manager Garland "Jake" Stahl, was given a check in the amount of $88,543.44 -- the winner's share, to be split amongst his victorious team.
This is that check. The next day, the Boston Globe showed a picture of it.
