This is the only one known of this broadside from the famed 1937 Ciudad Trujillo Series, which featured the greatest Negro League team or any league EVER. From a game between the other tournament clubs, Santiago and Oriente. Superstars from these teams included: Martin Dihigo, Luis Tiant Sr, Chester Brewer, Tetelo Vargas, Alejandro Oms, and Horacio Martinez among others who are listed right on the poster. Not sure which specific game, as those records have sadly been lost through time, it has a date in which it was played, but it was not part of the triangular championship so that is an impossibility. Some staining on folds looks like Rorschach Test!
