    Description

    Original 1946 Brooklyn and Montreal Dodgers Spring Training Official Program.  On March 17, 1946 Jackie Robinson played in his first major league game ever with the Montreal Royals (Dodger AAA farm team) vs. Brooklyn Dodgers at City Island Park in Daytona Beach, Florida.
    The auction item is an official program for the Dodgers/Royals 1946 spring training season which took place at City Island Park in Daytona Beach, Florida.  It is unmarked and the Dodger opponent is not identified.  The spectator receiving this would fill in the opponent team and the players' names.  It is unknown in which game this program was received.  The Dodgers players depicted on the cover are unknown, but someone familiar with the images might be able to identify them.  The program was handed down through the seller's family relatives who lived in the Daytona Beach area in 1946.
    The condition is very good except for a small torn piece of the front top edge (see photos).  This program should be considered 'Rare' since the seller cannot find another copy anywhere on the web.  Thus, it's a 'one-of-a-kind' item.  So...bid accordingly.
    Anyone with any additional knowledge concerning this program is invited to contact the seller.
