Classic Baseball Articles from The New Yorker
https://www.newyorker.com/books/doub...ading-baseball
Here's a bunch of classic baseball pieces by some great writers, including Roger Angell and John Updike. Angell is my favorite. I miss his writing. His style was laid back and easy, like a sunny summer afternoon at any MLB ballpark with a beer or lemonade in your hand and the roar of the crowd in your ear. I've read many of his books and look forward to reading his piece on Bob Gibson from 1980. Enjoy! |

If I am not mistaking The New Yorker had Jefferson Burdick's first ever article on baseball cards.
Correction, it seems Burdick's first article was in Hobbies Magazine. The New Yorker had some other kind of baseball card article, I believe.

The Power of Google
Here's the scoop, Leon. I just Googled "The New Yorker baseball cards" and found that in the August 13, 1990 issue Mark Singer wrote a SHORT piece about Mr. Burdick's collection at the Met. The focus was on the donation itself and the critical role Burdick played in the hobby. I tried to read it just now BUT you need to "sign up" for archive access. Good memory!

In further googling, According to George Vcheck the Kaw Chief Stamp Journal from 1936 had a baseball card article. Not sure why I was thinking 1929. Here are a couple of interesting pieces from way back in those days...
