1947/10/15 — ITEM DESCRIPTION:
A few people have each time I’ve offered these, perhaps because of the outstanding condition, so for the sake of total clarity this is not a reprint but a totally original vintage issue of The Sporting News issued at the date in the title
Oversized, appx. 11-3/4″ X 16-1/2″ classic The Sporting News issue printed on newsprint. The image at the left is a cropped out portion of the cover (too large to fit the whole thing on my scanner!) and there are other images below from inside this issue. Classic Sporting News from when it was “The Baseball Paper of the World”!
There is just too much packed into each issue of The Sporting News to list it all, but I have paged through this entire issue and here are some of the highlights:
World Series Coverage: This issue covers games 4 through 7 which include some classic moments:
32 pages plus 8-page “The Quarterback” section dedicated to football opening with a huge photo of Bobby Layne on the front cover with accompanying article, plus an article about Bob Chappuis and more, 40 pages total.
