Broadside heralding the arrival of Jackie Robinson's All Stars for a game against the Memphis Red Sox at Martin's Stadium on Sunday, October 22nd. In addition to Robinson, the broadside lists additional stars who would appear that day, including Roy Campanella, Larry Doby, Don Newcombe, and King Tutt, the "World's Greatest Negro Baseball Comedian." Although no year is listed, research indicates that this game took place in 1950. The broadside (6.25x9.25"), which is printed on thin paper stock, is unevenly toned from having once been matted and framed, and displays a tiny chip in the lower left corner. Aside from those small condition anomalies, the piece remains in Excellent condition.
