April 14, 1943, Yankees/Giants/Dodgers CDVO Doubleheader War Benefit Game, PSA

Why This Ticket Matters

On April 14, 1943, New York’s three major-league clubs—the Yankees, Giants, and Dodgers—participated in a special preseason benefit for the Civilian Defense Volunteer Office. The Yankees faced the Dodgers first, with the Giants scheduled to meet the winner in the second game.

The unusual event brought all three hometown rivals together in support of civilian-defense work during World War II. This ticket therefore connects New York baseball history with the city’s home-front mobilization during a pivotal period in American history.
