The Yankees and Dodgers did meet in an exhibition game on April 15, 1951 at Brooklyn. Mantle played and hit a home run. This page is from the April 16th Newark Star-Ledger.
(Note: this is how I bought it at an antique shop a couple of years ago.) I would say it is almost a certainty that what you have is a program fom that game. Very nice!

Mystery solved. So an exhibition game but from '51 and not '50. Cool stuff. Didn't know that it was common for prior year programs to be used for such games and I'm glad I learned that tidbit for future collecting purposes.
