Sports Illustrated hits 40 and the MLB strikes out
The newsweeklies cover the one-week-old baseball strike and Esquire gives everyone an IQ test. My weekly take on America's news, culture and ideas -- from exactly 30 years ago.
I too was born on august 16th, 1954. I grew up seeing it at the news stands(Dad didn’t subscribe and i couldn’t afford it until ‘76 after college). I loved the magazine and whoever got the cover photo and story was BIG news and an honor. Now SI has guys in their swimsuit issue. Does the print version even get published?
That strike! Killed baseball for me. I pretty much stopped following the sport after that.
