THE SPORTING NEWS, from St. Louis, Missouri, dated November 6, 1989.

The front page of this issue shows a photo of the Oakland A's titled, "The A's Have It", which relates to Oakland capturing the Bay Area World Series.

This was the first World Series sweep since 1976 and was disrupted for 10-days due to an earthquake which struck at the beginning of the third game.

Additional content within this issue is the 1989 TSN All-Star Team featuring Fred McGriff, Cal Ripken, Bret Saberhagen, Tony Gwynn, Benito Santiago, Mike Scott, Lonnie Smith, Ruben Sierra and many others.

Certainly the premier newspaper/magazine for the sporting world, its 60+ pages are simply filled with the latest news in American sports, including a front page photo which was the highlight of the week. The top names and events of all American sports eventually found their way in the pages of The Sporting News.

This is a complete issue measuring approximately 10.5 by 13.5 inches.

A nice displayable issue for any sports fan!
