The first we have seen, this program intersects baseball and politics. The verso of the four-page folded item boasts a "Grand Demonstration for the benefit of Friends of Irish Freedom," and is dated Sept. 21, 1919. The front bears a list of Brooklyn Dodgers' home games, with the inside listing a program of events. The election of 1918 was one of political turmoil in Ireland, with the Sinn Fein party capturing the majority of the seats in parliament. This program is in NRMT condition.
