Автор: Who s. Who In Baseball

Who”s Who in Baseball traces its origins back to its being a spin-off of the popular Baseball Magazine deep in baseball’s dead ball era. The first issue appeared in 1912, and the second issue appeared in 1916, with Ty Cobb on the cover. The publication has come out each spring since. Harris Publications, Inc. (through its division, Who’s Who in Baseball Magazine Co., ) has published the book since 1956. The basic cover-design format of red cover background and black type has been used since the 1940s, and the look of this great publication is so recognizable to readers that the editors feel comfortable covering up most of the word BASEBALL in the logo.Douglas B.
