1932 to 1953 Baseball Magazine Collection (79)

Collection of seventy-nine issues of Baseball Magazine, which includes two duplicates, spanning the years 1932 to 1953. For over fifty years, beginning in 1908, Baseball Magazine was the voice of the National Pastime, documenting every nuance of the game and its history in word and photographs. Today, Baseball Magazine is no longer published, but old issues open a window to history that is unrivaled, providing information and photos that often can be found nowhere else.
