I picked up one of those mechanical pencil baseball bats (about 5 1/2 inches long) that used to be a popular souvenir. I thought I could go home and google a little information on this one - Wrong. Google returns zero hits. The full inscription on the barrel of the bat is:

B.M.A.
CHAMPIONSHIP
BASEBALL SERIES
JUNE, 1939

I obviously a big enough of an event to have produced these souvenirs for sale. Does anyone have a clue what B.M.A. stands for or what this series was all about?
