1957-01-16 The Sporting News Baseball Magazine Contents

1957/01/16 — 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:

  • Birdie Tebbetts cartoon by Russ on the front cover
  • “Caoches Vote to Bar Scouts from Schools” on front cover
  • Ton of coverage running from page 3 through 8 on Jackie Robinson Retiring (portions of several of the pages are shown below)
  • Willard Mullin cartoon with New York Giant on first page of Robinson coverage
  • Vic Wertz

  • Al Kaline
  • 2 full pages by Hall of Famer Ed Walsh part 2 of 2
  • Jack Harshman
  • “O’Malley Peeks at Possible Site for Park in LA – ‘Merely Window Shopping’ Says Brooks’ Boss After Inspecting Chavez Ravine
  • “Alston Must Find New No. 1 Hitter for Big No. 4 Slot”
  • Chet Nichols
  • “Red Sox May Ink Negro in Season or Two”
  • “Great to Be Yankee — .264 Hitter Martin Ups Moolah Mark” about Billy Martin and other Yankees contracts for ’57
  • Gabe Paul and Cincinnati Reds Pennant Hopes
  • Jim Greengrass
  • Roberto Clemente Sets 23-Game Hit Mark in Puerto Rican League
  • Photo of Mickey Mantle in street clothes throwing out first pitch in Havana
  • And in the All-Sports section:
