1957-10-23 The Sporting News Baseball Magazine Contents

1957/10/23 — 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:

  • “He’ll Make a Busher Out of Brando” cartoon by Darvas on the front cover
  • Headline is “Big Shakeup Looms on Yankees for ’58” with story “Older Talent to Be Pruned from Roster — Simposon, Slaughter, Collins Reported Due to Leave; Others on Doubtful List” with small pic of George Weiss
  • Also on the cover “Dodgers Will Find L.A. ‘Colossal'”
  • Braves GM John Quinn “Predicts Braves Will Win Next Five Flags”
  • Lew Burdette “Scaled Peak Reached by Few — Lew Only Second Triple Winner in World’s Series Since ’20”
  • “Milwaukee 7th to Rebound After Losing Sixth Game — Pirates of 1909 Were First Club to Come Back After Blowing 3-2 Series Lead”
  • “MacPhail Still Speaking His Mind — ‘Sport of TV Medium? Game Must Decide,’ He Asserts”
  • Dual Brooklyn Bum cartoons “At Last!” by Hubenthal and “Goin’ Hollywood” by Mullin
  • Bill DeWitt “In Leadoff Spot as Tribe GM Choice — Bill Out Front as Successor to Greenberg” and on the same page Hank Greenberg “Takes Outster Like Real Champ — ‘Proud of 10-Year Record,’ He Tells Scribes; Will Retain Tribe Stock”

  • “New 2-Year Pilot Term for Rigney Hailed by ‘Frisco”
  • “Quinn Blocked Covington Grab by Giants in Schoendienst Deal — Demand of New York Club for Big Flyhawk Nearly Stymied Trade for Red”
  • Johnny Powers
  • Stan Musial’s “Standout Year Stressed by Cardinals’ Clutch Statistics”
