Just a few months after bringing Brooklyn its first World Series championship, Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley brought his ballclub to Japan as part of a goodwill tour, having been invited by Matsutaro Shoriki, the founder of the Yomiuri Shimbun and the "father of Japanese professional baseball." From that trip come these publications, all of which have various photos and articles/biographies of the Dodgers players. They are in VG condition with some small tears around the edges.
