    Description

    Jeane Hoffman assistant to the president business card. Obtained from the Roy Hofheinz estate. I believe this card is from1965.  Jeane passed away in 1966.  Jeane was a pioneer female sports writer.  Card is in good shape.  See pictures for condition.
    In May 1965 Dodgers’ owner Walter O’Malley circulated a memo to the front office: “Jeane Hoffman (McIntosh) has been retained by me ‘on special assignment.’ She will be furnished an office and will have Department Head courtesies. Calling cards will read ‘Assistant to the President.’”[fn]3 May 1965, Memo, Walter F. O’Malley to All Department Heads. (Courtesy Peter O’Malley.) [/fn] Her job entailed filling Dodger Stadium when the team was out of town and during the offseason, and she took on the assignment with enthusiasm, booking events from R.V. shows and bull fights to the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame Scholar-Athlete Awards banquet in the Stadium Club and the filming of an Elvis Presley movie,
