This is an unusual issue of Yakyukai magazine in that it features a pro baseball player on the cover. The player is Hall of Fame Member Henry "Bozo" Wakabayashi (Hawaii). Nearly all pre-war Yakyukai issues had Big Six U. or High School players as cover subjects. This 140 page magazine was published only three months before the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor. This fascinating publication includes 8 pages of pro baseball photos including Eiji Sawamura. There are two professional baseball game discount tickets inserted as well. Japanese text.

Size: 7 1/4" x 10 1/8"

Condition: Vg/Ex with wear on the binding. Tickets inside are Nm/Mt.
