As player salaries were notoriously low during the early years of America's Pastime, many Major League players participated in barnstorming tours during the off-season to make some extra money. This program from October 15, 1922, features the Woodmen of the World (a local insurance company fortunate enough to have Babe Ruth on its team) against the South Side Merchants, highlighted by Yankees outfielder Bob Meusel. Total of eight pages measuring 8x11", no binding - just folded over, and center scorecard is unscored. Overall VG condition with a fold across the middle where the entire program was folded in half, some small tears, and toning; fairly significant stain on the SSM team score page, a fun snapshot of baseball life in the 1920s with Babe Ruth to boot.
