In this postcard, produced by the Mainichi Sports newspaper, Joe DiMaggio and Lefty O'Doul are posed with Japan Baseball superstar and Hall of Famer, Kaoru Betto in a photo taken during the U.S. All Stars' Tour of Japan in 1951.  Known as the Gentleman of Baseball, Betto's more recent claim to fame is having his countenance emblazoned on a very popular t-shirt worn by Jeff Bridges in the movie, The Big Lebowski. A Best 9 selection in six consecutive seasons, Betto was truly deserving of his Hall of Fame enshrinement in 1988. Betto's signature on the postcard is a facsimile. Unused.
