Jim Rice November 1978 Pro Sports Magazine Cover


Description

A color slide of the cover of the November 1978 edition of Pro Sport magazine featuring a full-length photograph of Jim Rice batting. Rice is standing in the right-handed batter's box and has just completed his swing with his right hand coming off the baseball bat. His upper body twists to his left toward the camera as he looks over his right shoulder out at the field. He is wearing a Boston Red Sox road uniform. The blurry background shows part of the dugout and fans in the grandstand. The white and yellow text that makes up six article headlines reads, "How Jim Rice put it all together", "The story behind Pete Rose's coming showdown with the Reds", "The Texas heat is on Richie Zisk", "Nolan Ryan talks about his greatest challenge", "I could go for distance with anybody with ever played this game! Greg Luzinski", and "Can Reggie Jackson do it again?" A blue and red banner at the top of the cover reads, "Special playoff and World Series issue".
