Greenberg TSN art
Happened to catch the documentary "Jews and Baseball" on PBS a couple of weeks back, and it showed the attached Sporting News article from 1935. It reminded me that last year I picked up a few pieces of Sporting News artwork, and subscribed to Paper of Record for a few months to find out when the art was used. One of the pieces was the facial illustration by Lank Leonard of Greenberg used in this issue - I was happy to be able to match the art to the article. Seems like it was a standard practice to save off some of the art in their files for future use - I did find a couple of drawings that were used again in later issues.
