The magazine, published by Sunday Mainichi, is devoted entirely to the 1955 New York Yankees Tour of Japan. The Mick appears here on what is generally considered to be his most attractive Japanese cover. The first eight pages are large black and white photos of each Yankee with names printed in English. Most of the remaining pages contain photos, bios and year-by-year statistics of each Yankee player. The ticket stub is from the game played on October 23, 1955 between the New York Yankees and the Central and Pacific League combined all-star team. This game was played at Korakuen Stadium in Tokyo. The Yankees won 11-6 with Bob Turley getting the win and Japan's 400 game winner, Masaichi Kaneda, tagged with the loss. Home runs were hit by Andy Carey and Eddie Robinson of the Yankees.
