1957-01-09 The Sporting News Baseball Magazine Contents

1957/01/09 — ITEM DESCRIPTION: 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”! This issue also includes the All-Sports News section in the middle which covers sports other than baseball such as football and basketball.

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:

  • Headline “Hank Urges Players to Fight Freeze” refers to story begun below “Present Draft Plan Attacked by Greenberg”
  • Willard Mullin cartoon on front cover
  • Walter O’Mally of the Brooklyn Dodgers warns: “We Could Be Forced to Take Irrevocable Step” as “Brooks Threaten to Go Elsewhere”
  • Yankees payroll expected to top $480,000 for 1957
  • Photo (shown below) of Whitey Ford & Yogi Berra outside Yankee Stadium waving their 1957 contracts

  • Hank Greenberg has high hopes for Al Rosen after raise

  • Billy O’Dell
  • Stan Lopata
  • 2/3 page huge Wilson ad with Nellie Fox
