Warren Spahn 1958 Sports All Stars Baseball Magazine Cover


Description

A color slide of the cover of the 1958 Sports All Stars Baseball magazine featuring four photographs of Warren Spahn on the pitcher's mound in different stages of pitching a baseball. The main photograph is the third in the series and shows Spahn standing on his front (right) leg with the baseball in his left hand high above his head. He is leaning forward with his left leg bending behind him. Three smaller photographs are on the left side of the cover. The first shows him leaning back on his left leg with his right leg kicking straight out to his side. The second shows him standing on his back leg with his front leg barely off the ground. He is in profile with his back and right side visible. He has the baseball in his left hand behind his head. The last photograph shows him leaning forward and to his right after releasing the baseball. He is standing on his front leg with his left leg bending behind him. The caption reads, "All Star Warren Spahn hurls fast ball in hi-speed photos see Spahn story, P. 22". Three article headlines read, "40 All stars and alternates", "Hottest rookies" and "Plus team-by-team rundowns in text and action photos with complete coverage of Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants".
