In 1946, Bob Feller famously teamed up with Satchel Paige to go on a barnstorming tour after the season ended. (Technically it was after the regular season ended but the WS was still going on... it would be another year before the WS was televised and the rest of the country could watch it.)

Feller and Paige rented planes and toured across the country, even stopping in Versailles, KY, the home of commissioner Happy Chandler, as part of his convincing the commissioner to allow the extended tour.

Towards the end of the tour, Feller and Paige split up for a few games while they were on the West Coast. At that time, Feller paired up against a team whose leader had just won the International League (AAA) World Series with the Montreal Royals. Feller played 3 games against the Jackie Robinson All-Stars.

This program is from one of those games. The fan taped a clipping from a newspaper which captures the details, and Robinson is seen batting second. Stan Musial was in the other lineup, as this game was played after the World Series had concluded.

Those are great! I know the Pete Gray tour was 1946. Do you know when the rest are from?

I think I have it written down with the programs, just have cover scans. Let me check!

Here are a few more.

Recently traded for this Ali-Frazier 1 program and was surprised to find the signature of former VP Hubert Humphrey on the scoring page ...
