The yearly contest sponsored by Esquire Magazine brought together the top high school baseball players in the country. Hall of Famers Ty Cobb (Manager of the West) and Honus Wagner (Manager of the East) would lead their respective teams. Hall of Famers Rogers Hornsby and Luke Appling were also among the coaches.

Red white and blue shield patch plus "1946" on left sleeve. "Esquire" and magazine logo is on the right. Dark blue piping. Large red felt "6" on the back.
