The first two games of the 1933 World Series were played at the Polo Grounds, the home of the National League champs, the New York Giants. They were the heavy underdogs to the Senators, but won the first two games at home. The next 3 games were at Griffith Stadium in Washington. A special train took the Senators players back to Washington D.C. This “Special Train” menu was on that train that left from New York’s Pennsylvania Station on October 4. It is signed by most of Washington's players including “Goose” Goslin, Sam Rice, Joe Cronin, Moe Berg, Heine Manush, and team owner Cal Griffith.

The menu represents the true end of an era as it was in the very next season that an airplane was first used to transport a professional baseball team (the Cincinnati Reds). It was the beginning of the end of 60 years of players traveling by train.
