From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Baseball Digest is a baseball magazine resource, published in Evanston, Illinois by Lakeside Publishing Company. It is the oldest baseball magazine in the United States.

It was created by Herbert F. Simons, a sportswriter for the Chicago Daily Times, in 1942. Simons first published the magazine in August, 1942, and served as its editor-in-chief until 1963. In 1981, Joan Whaley was published as its first female contributor.

After publishing on a monthly schedule, it scaled back to 8 times a year (Jan./Feb., Mar./Apr., May, June, July, August, September, and Oct./Nov.) – with National and American League schedules, directories, and pre-season rosters – the magazine provides insights on Major League Baseball history and on current stars, often from one-on-one interviews. In June of 2009, a letter to readers in the magazine advised that only six issues per year would be published.

Other features include batting, pitching and fielding statistics, a "fans speak out" letters section, a "Baseball Profile" of one player, trivia questions in a Quick Quiz, previews, rules review, a crossword puzzle, and analysis of upcoming prospects.

In addition, Baseball Digest provides season-ending features on its All-Star rookie team along with player and pitcher of the year ratings.
