At the height of the Depression in 1933, a number of prominent members of the U.S. Congress played a game of baseball in order to raise money for the poor. The game, in which the Democrats played the Republicans, was billed as the 1933 Political World Series. This rare program is from that game. President Roosevelt threw out the first pitch. One of the umpires was boxer Gene Tunney. This was the line-up and batting order:
