1958-07-02 The Sporting News Baseball Magazine Contents

1958/07/02 — 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:

  • “The Inner Man” cartoon by Willard Mullin on the front cover
  • Headline is “Coast Parks Bar Lefties in Homer Race” with story “‘Frisco, LA Fields Favor Right Hitters — Only 17 Four-Basers Belted by Southpaw Sockers in Both Stadiums Thus Far”
