Well-worn game program and for a game against the New York Black Yankees.  By the 1950s the Clowns were a barnstorming team, more in the vein of the Harlem Globetrotters for baseball, despite being the team to sign Hank Aaron to his first professional contract.  In POOR condition, every page is separating or has separated from the pine, the brittle pages experiencing significant chipping and paper loss, with some water staining throughout.  Still, an interesting historical document.
