1958-07-23 The Sporting News Baseball Magazine Contents

1958/07/23 — 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:

  • “Turn-About” cartoon by O’Mealia on the front cover
  • Headline is “5 Million Bonus Tab Shocks Majors” with article “New Splurge Brings Hunt for Solution — The Sporting News’ Survey Confirms Huge Outlay; Phillies Lead in Spending”
  • Also on the cover “Braves Find Their Honeymoon Fading — Turnstile Rate Below Average for Five Years”
  • “Jensen Swings for Homer, RBI Crowns — Second Fiddle to Ted Now Waving Big Baton for Bosox” with Jackie Jensen cartoon

  • Red Schoendienst “Gets New Injury Jolt in Worst Jinx Season”
