Original 1927 United States Fleet Baseball Championship program/scorecard from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, dated April 6-7, 1927. The game matched Aircraft Squadrons, Scouting Fleet – champions of the Scouting Fleet in 1926 and 1927 – against USS California, champions of the Battle Fleet. Interior pages list prior Scouting Fleet and Battle Fleet game results, batting order, reserve players, and hand-entered scoring. Printed at bottom: U. ” Reverse/inner page includes period “Aircraft Songs, ” including “Hit It Again” and “Bye, Bye, Prune Barge. ” From the YN2 Robert “Dinty Moore U. Navy archive, with Moore’s handwritten service history retained as provenance linking the archive to his interwar Navy service aboard USS Whitney, USS Concord, and USS Dobbin. A rare interwar U. Navy sports and fleet-aviation artifact tying together baseball, Guantanamo Bay, Scouting Fleet aviation, USS Wright, and USS California. Interior scoring is handwritten in pencil. Displays well with strong typography and excellent fleet/baseball content. USS Wright matters here because the program itself is printed U. Wright – 4-6-27 – 2500, and a specialized naval baseball reference identifies this exact type of 1927 Fleet Baseball Championship scorecard as USS Wright-produced for the Scouting Fleet vs. Battle Fleet championship at Guantanamo Bay. Wright also fits the aviation/scouting context, as NHHC records Wright serving aviation/scouting functions and supporting Scouting Fleet aircraft operations. Dobbin also fits Moore’s broader Scouting Fleet context; NHHC notes Dobbin served with the Scouting Fleet and operated out of Guantanamo Bay in the 1920s.
