1957-11-27 The Sporting News Baseball Magazine Contents

1957/11/27 — 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:

  • Pages 15-41 feature only advertising for Christmas, sporting goods and items of that nature
  • “Only Braves Deserve the Fare” cartoon by Vic Johnson on the cover featuring Braves execs and players including Hank Aaron and Eddie Mathews carving a turkey titled “World Championship”
  • Headline is “‘Free Draft Directed at Farms’–Weiss” with story “Poorer Clubs Trying to Get Talent Cheap — ‘Bonus Rule Remedy Would Harm Game, Might Kill Scouts,’ Says Yank GM”
  • “Haney Rich in Pitchers–Oh, What to Do? Big Headache Next Spring Will Be Picking Top Ten”
  • Stan Musial, “37, Snubs Calendar After .351 Mark in ’57 — Musial Laughs at Pop Time–Pins Redbirds’ Hopes on Bats, Including His Own”
  • “Echoes Lingering Over Disputed Records” has photos of Lou Gehrig, Stan Musial, Ty Cobb, Bob Feller and others with article “Pros and Cons of Musial, Feller, Cobb Feats Argued — Did Marquard Win 20 Straight or 19 in ’12? Recheck Revealed Strikeouts that Waddell ‘Lost'”
  • “Tigers Beat Lane to Punch in Big Martin Deal — Swap Sewed Up by McHale in Frank’s Absence in Cuba — Billy the Kid Slated to Play Short for Detroit; Trade Sets Bengal Record for Manpower Involved” all about the latest Billy Martin trade
  • “Giants to Meet Six of Rivals in ‘Frisco Before Going East — Schedule Won’t Bring Braves into City Until June”
  • “Lane Turns to Yanks and Nats for Help — Lost ‘Prize’ When Tigers Got Martin — Declares McHale Rushed A’s Deal to ‘Get There First’; May Pitch for Carey, Yost”
  • “Lane Shift Halted Pirates’ Trade of Thomas to Cards — Redbirds Also Would Have Obtained Gene Freese”
  • Casey Wise
  • “Cal Bends Ear as Yanks Eye Pascual Deal — Griffith Would Be Interested in Collins and Simpson”
  • “Yankee Hating Good for Gate, Bomber Road Figures Reveal”
  • Mickey Mantle “Wins MVP Award in AL for Second Time — Beats Williams 233 Points to 209; Sievers Finishes Third, Fox Fourth” with drawing of Mantle
