1957-10-30 The Sporting News Baseball Magazine Contents

1957/10/30 — 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”!

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:

  • “One-Horse Town” by Mullin showing the Yankees as the only team left in New York
  • Headline is “Harridge Sees No Transfers in A.L.” with story “Brushes Off 10-Club Idea as Unwieldy – President Denies National ‘Out-Aggressed’ His Loop in Moves to the West Coast”
  • Also on the cover “N.Y. Called ‘Never-Never Land’ for Any N.L. Team — City Fathers Unable to Build Suitable Park, Explains Dan”
