BASEBALL DIGEST ONLINE


Google Books now has issues of Baseball Digest available for reading online, all free of charge. It appears a few issues from the 1940's are available, and practically all issues from 1950 through 2007 are there. Great quality for scanned images!
This is the message I got from one of my draft league buds and frankly it made my day. I have a small collection of BBD and I read it everywhere I am on the go, on the John, and in the car. I immediately selected an October 1952 issue (see pic) found an article reprinted from the Cleveland Plain Dealer by Gordon Cobbledick "Satch is a Natch for the Hall of Fame."So now I am going to be reading on line a lot as I love BBD. Further Saturday @9pm on ESPNHD is a program about the greatest football game ever played. It contains some colorized shots of the game never before seen. The game of course is 1958 Championship game Colts vs Giants. Players will also be giving their comments, like Pat Sumerall and Ray Berry. Well as John Bench says "Catch you later".
