This small magazine was given as a "furoku" or extra item to purchasers of the September 1949 issue of Yakyu Shonen (Baseball Youth) Magazine. The cover features five San Francisco Seals Arky Vaughn,
Reno Cheso, Dario Lodiglani, Mickey Rocco and Frank Shofner. The inside of this publication consists primarily of large brown or green tint photos of Seals players with captions.
There are large, posed photos of nearly every Seals team member. Text is limited primarily to the first and last pages. The San Francisco Seals Japan Tour was one of the first postwar cultural exchanges between the US and Japan.
As a result, it was anticipated and followed with an enthusiasm unrivaled during future US Japan Tours.
Size: 10 3/16" x 7 3/16". Japanese text.
Condition: Ex/Mt.
