Sports Illustrated's baseball staff takes a 40-page look at the strengths and weaknesses of the major league teams in the annual Baseball Issue. Robert H. Boyle reports on Commissioner Ford Frick (Perfect Man for the Job) and finds he may be a good man for the owners but not necessarily for the sport. Author-Pitcher Jim Brosnan writes vividly about the inner workings of a pennant-chasing ball club in an excerpt from his latest book. And six fine pitchers look you right in the eye—in color.
