1958-09-24 The Sporting News Baseball Magazine Contents

1958/09/24 — 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:

  • “Four Kings Who Are Battling for NL Bat Crown” cartoon on the front cover by Willard Mullin pictures Hank Aaron, Richie Ashburn, Stan Musial and Willie Mays.
  • Headline is “Yanks Fading? Higgins Scoffs at Idea” with article “‘Team Young and Could Be Better in ’59’ — ‘If They Have Deteriorated What About Rest of Us?’ Asks Manager of Red Sox”
  • “Old Home Week for Cards Next Spring — Hemus to Be New Pilot, Stanky as Liason With Harry the Hat and Keane as Coaches”
  • “‘Wabash Cannonball Battle’ Called Dud — Dan Gives Eye-Witness Account of Duren-Houk ‘Scrap’ — Coach Didn’t Relish Having Cigar Pushed Into His Face”
  • “Braves’ Moves to Include Tebbetts in Front Office? Railbirds Wonder If Birdie Will Be Named to Job as Aid to Cairnes or Quinn”
  • “New Record for Spahn–First Lefty to Win 20 in Nine Years”
  • “Lary’s Hex on Yanks Mystifies Bengals–And They Live It Up — Frank Doesn’t Know How He Fools ‘Em; Norman ‘Glad He’s On Our Side'”
  • “McLish, Colavito, Power Tribe Entries in MVP Race — Strong Late-Season Finishes Being Made by Cal, Rocky, Vic”
  • Bob Turley “Hits Target of Best Win Mark on Yanks Since ’34 — Bullet Bob Fairly Certain to Open World’s Series; Casey and All of Team Determined to Regain Crown”
  • Obituary: EX-AL Hitting King, New York Yankees George Snuffy Sternweiss, 38, Killed in Rail Tragedy
  • Plus Regular Columns, box scores, statistics, minor league reports, reports from Cuba, Venezuela, and more. 4-pages give College and Pro football schedules plus two pages of articles including photos of Bobby Layne and Jim Brown
  • 48 pages total.
