Item Description
9.75x7" 1948 souvenir scorecard and program. The program is for the Interfaith Charity exhibition baseball game between the Baltimore Orioles and Jersey City on 7/13/48. The game was to feature a special guest appearance by Babe Ruth and has a photo of him on the interior of the program as well as a hello to him on the inside back cover. It's questionable whether he actually appeared at this game due to his health at the time. He had just made his final appearance at Yankee Stadium and returned to the hospital, where he passed away in August of 1948. There is a coupon clipped out of the interior on page 5, o/w the program is Fine.
