On November 7, 1931 a team of U.S. Major League All-Stars faced the All Japan team in the first of 17 games. The U.S. team featured future Hall of Famers Lou Gehrig, Lefty Grove, Frankie Frisch, Mickey Cochrane, Al Simmons, Rabbit Maranville and George Kelly, along with future Japan Hall of Fame member, Lefty O'Doul. Not surprisingly, the U.S. team was victorious in all seventeen contests.

This item is an "outfield ticket" used at the first game of the series, played at Jingu Stadium. The Americans prevailed that day by a score of 7-0. It was one of six Tour games played at Jingu Stadium in 1931.
