1957-01-30 The Sporting News Baseball Magazine Contents

1957/01/30 — 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:

  • Lou Darvas cartoon of Cleveland GM and Hall of Fame slugger Hank Greenberg with his “Little Helper” on the cover
  • Also on cover, pitchers angry over the new 20-second rule meant to speed up the game — with no one on base the pitcher has 20 seconds to deliver the ball to the catcher or risk being called for a ball
  • Headline on page 2: “Call Strikes on Time-Wasting Batters” — Yogi
  • Duke Snider
  • Frank Lary and brothers
  • Puttsburgh Pirates roster and review
  • Pirate Payroll Up 50 Grand to 7th
  • JIm Davis
  • Robin Roberts pay cut to $45,000

  • “Yanks Handicap ’57 Race See Begals As Top Rival”
  • Gene Conley

  • “Kuenn Tabs Bengals as Ready to Make Trouble for Yanks
  • Tigers Roster and Review
  • Part 1 of 2 of article about humorous experiences of Cubs Travelling Secretary Bob Lewis
  • “Yogi Sees a Better Season for Mickey” – article also includes a photo of Yogi Berra in street clothes with wife Carmen
  • George Kell Knocks at 2,000 Hit Club’s Door
  • Joe DiMaggio’s favorite photo – from the 1937 All-Star Game it shows DiMaggio with Lou Gehrig, Bill Dickey, Joe Cronin, Charley Gehringer, Jimmie Foxx and Hank Greenberg — all Hall of Famers by ’57
  • “Ol Casey Howling –But Confusing– Hit at Chi Dinner
  • Heavier Mantle Finds $10,000 Belt too Small” includes pic of Mickey Mantle receiving Hickok jeweled belt
  • And in the All-Sports section:
