Oddball Event at a Major League Ballpar
Oddball Event at a Major League Ballpark. Official program for "Larry Sunbrock's Wild West Rodeo and Hollywood Thrill Circus" at New York's Polo Grounds, July 12-19, (1942), 8 -1/2 x 1 1, (8) pp., bluetone on stiff white, large photos. Expecting 500,000 fans, the monumental show lists 62 acts, including "Pageant of the Old West," Hollywood Hell Driver King Kelly, "Human battering ram Iron Man Perry smashes his head through a flaming one inch board wall," "The Gibsons Sensational Knife Throwing Act," "Lucky Lott leaps his car over a Transcontinental Bus," clowns, cowgirls, and much more. One can imagine the consternation of the Giants at the condition of their field upon their return. One old soft vertical fold, some toning, else good. Scarce and unusual.
