Beyond Rare 1887 Buffalo Bisons International Association League Baseball Sked

1887 INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION BASEBALL LEAGUE. FROM THE ESTATE OF AN EXTREMELY SELECTIVE COLLECTOR IS THIS ORIGINAL 134 YEAR OLD BUFFALO BISONS HOME SCHEDULE. THE SCHEDULE IS UNDATED, NO DESIGNATION AS TO BUFFALO BISONS or INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION. IT HAS TAKEN HOURS OF RESEARCH TO NARROW DOWN THE IDENTIFICATION. THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION WAS LOCATED IN THE CORRIDOR STRETCHING FROM JERSEY CITY / NEWARK THROUGHT EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA, NORTH THROUGH UPSTATE NEW YORK, AND INTO LOWER ONTARIO CANADA. THIS LEAGUE LASTED ONLY 2 SEASONS, 1987/88.

1987 WAS THE LARGEST FRANCHISE WISE, WITH 10 ACTUAL TEAMS. 1988 BROUGHT IT DOWN TO 8, and BY 1989 IT HAD FOLDED.

THIS ERA OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL HISTORY IS INFAMOUS FOR LEAGUES STARTING, FOLDING, RESTARTING, and FOR FRANCHISES STARTING, FOLDING, RELOCATING, IN SHORT, A TOPSY TURVEY ERA. THE LEAGUE STARTED OUT WITH 12 TEAMS, AND ENDED WITH 10 TEAMS. BUT, PRIOR TO THE SEASON START, 2 TEAMS DROPPED OUT. THE OSWEGO STARCHBOXES and THE UTICA PENT UPS WERE GONE ACCORDING TO THIS SCHEDULE. BASEBALL REFERENCE DOES NOT HAVE ANY GAME RECORDS/STANDINGS FOR THE LEAGUE.

ALSO, THE TEAM ROSTERS SHOW NO PLAYER STATISTICS FOR THOSE TEAMS IN 1987. ACCORDING TO THIS SCHEDULE, THE FOLLOWING TEAMS MADE UP THE 1887 INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION : BINGHAMTON CRICKETS, BUFFALO BISONS, HAMILTON HAMS, JERSEY CITY SKEETERS, NEWARK LITTLE GIANTS, ROCHESTER MAROONS, SCRANTON MINERS, SYRACUSE STARS, TORONTO CANUCKS, WILKES BARRE COAL BARONS. IT IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. FRONT AND BACK ARE EXTREMELY CLEAN FOR A 134 YEAR OLD VINTAGE SCHEDULE. VERY INTERESTING VINTAGE GRAPHIS ON FRONT.
