1957-08-21 The Sporting News Baseball Magazine Contents

1957/08/21 — 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:

  • “That Dizzy Feeling” cartoon by Darvas on the front cover shows several managers walking a tightrope
  • Headline is: “Many Managers Teeter on Tight-Rope” with story “Three Down, More Due to Take Tumble — Tighe, Rigney, Hutchinson, Murtaugh Among Pilots on Doubtful List for ’58”
  • Also on cover: “Giants Face Show Me Mood in SF”
  • Large Roy Sievers cartoon by Southee with article “Sievers Could Be Nats’ First HR Champ — Capital Fans All Shook Up Over Raps of Rock ‘n’ Roll Roy”
