Description

A Negro American League baseball poster featuring Satchel Paige and Goose Tatum.

I have a B&W and sepia version of this great poster here as well.

The circa 1945 poster reads:

The text at the top of the poster is red and says “VICTORY FIELD / INDIANAPOLIS / FRI. AUG. 31 8:00 p. m. / Adults $1.25 Children 12 & Under 25¢. Below this in white text in a black square is "NEGRO American LEAGUE / BASEBALL." Printed in black ink on a red background is “25 TIMES WORLD’S / Champions / Kansas City / Monarchs / VS / Harlem Stars / FEATURING THE CLOWN PRINCE OF BASEBALL GOOSE TATUM.” Images of Goose Tatum and Satchel Paige are also printed on the red background. At the bottom of the poster in white text on a black background is “SEE – IN ACTION – LE ROY ‘SATCHEL’ PAIGE / ‘THE AGELESS WONDER’ REPUTEDLY THE / GREATEST PITCHER OF ALL TIME!”
