1957-07-10 The Sporting News Baseball Magazine Contents

1957/07/10 — 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”!

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:

  • “24th Annual Game” – “All-Star Issue” has a small pic of Walter Alston at the top left and Casey Stengel at the top right, the headline “Williams-Musial Duel All-Star Gem: Stan’s 14th, Ted’s 13th Dream Tilt” and a cartoon by Amadee “The Big Show … In the Show-Me Stat’s Big Town”
