I still get it delivered via snail mail.
last of the Mohicans.
typically save anything where the cover is philly related and have an old Mike Tyson cover one when he first became champ - with 'Kid Dybamite' on it.....

Earliest I remember seeing are in 1967 and 1968.

Anybody remember 'The Sporting News'?
I used to get old school 'Football Digests' too as a kid - was kind of shaped like a TV Guide

I was an si.com regular until about 2016 when I absolutely quit their incessant ad banners & automatic video players to churn the load times.
Thankfully, Peter King has moved on to NBC & his Monday fixture is sooo much easier to navigate & enjoy.

The other day I was telling my wife about an article I read in SI in 1996, then I googled it and found the actual article on the archive you mentioned. I haven't really poked around with it since then, but I'm glad it exists. |

Anybody remember 'The Sporting News'? I used to get old school 'Football Digests' too as a kid - was kind of shaped like a TV Guide We lived for the Sporting News. SI was fluff and we never subscribed. The biggest fights that me and my brother ever got into was over TSN. It was a point of honor to get TSN first.
With a membership to SABR, you get access to all the back issues of The Sporting News. Back to 1886, but a lot of the 1800's issues are poor quality. It's still fun to read about the exciting new OF the Yankees got from the San Francisco Seals, named DiMaggio.
Loved the Sporting News annuals, baseball, pro and college football, college hoops. My father ended up buying two of those so there was more peace in the house. They were a little worse for wear by the end of the season. TSN and Street & Smith's.
