1958-01-22 The Sporting News Baseball Magazine Contents

1958/01/22 — 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:

  • “A Noose for the Goose and Its Golden Egg” cartoon by Gene Basset on the front cover
  • Headline is “Weiss and Lane to Duel for Swap Title” with article “They’ll Match Wits in Trade Talks, Jan 25. — Yankee Boss and Tribe GM Never Have Dealt Before in Across-Table Session”
