Navy vs Major League All-Stars
It is a slight stretch of the truth that this game was billed as the Navy taking on a team of major league all-stars. The Navy squad is listed with name (last name and initials), rating and rate and positron, at least seven of the men are, in fact, major leaguers. For some reason, Walt Masterson appears on both rosters. Several of the Navy squad were members of the Pearl Harbor Submarine Base team (including Oscar Sessions, a combat veteran from the USS Minneapolis who would pitch in the Army vs Navy All-Star Championship Series later in 1944). What makes this four-page card stock scorebook invaluable is that the Navy team includes the ratings of the men which are often quite difficult to determine without obtaining official documentation.
