Buy The Book
Baseball Digest was probably the formative magazine of my youth. Bob Hertzel touches on all the aspects that made it so.
For those looking for the entire library, bow down to Google Books. Based on my memory of the covers of the books, I started collecting around here.
i think i still have a friend that subscribes. great for nostalgia, but like baseball cards, pretty much useless.
They recently altered the format from the older odd size to a larger layout like most other magazines. I have fond memories of reading Baseball Digest as a youth, though a recent subscription reminded me that its utility in the Internet era is of little value. It would not surprise me if it folds, given the drastic declines many magazines have seen in sales the past few years.
