Description: These are 2 tickets in excellent condition for the All Army Team Vs. the Brooklyn Dodgers Football Team. It happened at Baltimore Stadium on Wednesday, April 16, 1942 and was a fund raiser for the Army Emergency Relief. The tickets are made of sturdier material than today’s tickets. The rear has some paper loss due to likely being pasted on a scrapbook. I had to look up the significance of the event and here is what I learned. Just as America’s general population rallied behind the United States’ World War II effort, so too did the National Football League. Hundreds of players joined the effort through enlistment, as the NFL organizationally looked for additional ways to make a difference. The NFL donated the revenues from 15 exhibition games to service charities. The games produced a total purse of $680,384.07. It was reported to be the largest amount raised by a single athletic organization. Included in the exhibition games were the Army Emergency Relief Series games between NFL teams and military all-star aggregations. Eight games were played at eight different locations. The All-Star teams, billed as West Army and East Army All-Stars, faced the Detroit Lions, Brooklyn Dodgers, Green Bay Packers, Chicago Cardinals, Washington Redskins and the Chicago Bears. The series ended with the All-Stars winning four games and the NFL winning four games. Thanks for checking in!
