An interesting tidbit...they put Vin Scully in uniform for the game.

"They even put him in uniform for an exhibition game in Battle Creek, Mich., that summer, as a fill-in for Gil Hodges, whose wife was having a baby.
"I weighed about 155 pounds, Hodges about 195, but there I was, in his uniform," Scully recalls. "Before the game, I was out in center field, shagging some flies, and one came at me from Roy Campanella. It was a liner, stayed about shoulder high, and I'll never forget the concussion when that ball hit my glove. It was like I had been at third base, not center field. I said, 'I don't belong out there.' That was the end of that."

"Early in the season of 1950 a city all-star team played the Brooklyn Dodgers at Post Park, before 5,000 spectators. The Dodgers had won the National League pennant, in 1949 with black players Roy Campanella, Jackie Robinson (pictured above), and Don Newcombe competing for the first time. The game was sponsored by Post, through a friendship with Branch Rickey, Dodger general manager. Admission to game was $1.00 per person. AA league teams were Post, Clark, Michigan Carton, Hall Drug, Oliver, Ft. Custer, Reichart Steel. Clark’s won the city title; Oliver was runner-up. The State Tournament also was held in Battle Creek."
There is a NY Times article from June 1st about the game, but you have to have access to/buy access to their digital archives to read it. Maybe it has some info in it.
And according to his obituary, Vernon J. Hills pitched for Battle Creek against the Dodgers. He passed away in 2009.
