Offered here is a seldom seen program, printed solely for the game which took place on 10/7/51 at Narumi Stadium between the U.S. All Stars and Nagoya Dragons. The All Stars won the game by a score of 11-1. This is only the second time we have auctioned an example of this program. The last time was in 2008.

Luminaries such as the DiMaggio Brothers, Lefty O'Doul, Bob Lemon, Ed Lopat, Bobby Shantz, Ferris Fain and Billy Martin were Tour members.
