Congrats. I think it a special piece for all the reasons you stated.

Items from Jackie's time in the Negro Leagues are few and far in between. It's not clear whether he played in this game (his name is crossed out and the listing makes the assumption that he didn't, though they couldn't find a box score) but still having his name printed on a program from when he was in the Negro Leagues, along with Satchell Paige pitching for his team and Bob Feller on the other side, makes it an interesting piece in my book.
