Brooks Robinson was on the cover, but the magazine had articles about most of the team. The articles were organized by position, including stories highlighting contributions by the pitching staff, infielders, outfielders and even the bench players.
Ironically, there is a note in the magazine that the October issue would be the last magazine printed and it was being switched to a newspaper type publication.

Alan,
I LOVE that magazine cover! I guess when you’ve never seen the publication with Brooks on the cover before everything will look great. Please keep me in mind if you ever part with this example. This thread is going to be great for research purposes (at least for me it is).
