This is a publicity magazine published by the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper, sponsor of the Tour. The magazine consists mostly of S.F. Giants player photos with captions, including a nice two page photo section on Willie Mays. There are also photos of Marichal, McCovey and Cepeda. There are
two pages devoted to the Japanese opposition, and two pages of text and photos detailing previous Tours, including photos of Ruth, Gehrig,
Mantle, DiMaggio, Berra, Jackie Robinson, Campanella, etc. All photos are black & white. Japanese text, but S.F. Giants player photos have the
name in English.
Size: 7" x 10 1/4". 20 pages.
Condition: Would be Ex/Mt except that there is a portion of the lower left corner that has been cut off.
