Bob Ryan revisits SPORT magazine in the Foreword to The Best of SPORT: Classic Writing From the Golden Era of Sports
The year was 1946 and young Dave Anderson was in a country store somewhere in Vermont when he noticed a strange new magazine in the rack.
"I looked through it and said, ‘What is this?' " Anderson recalls. "I had never seen anything like this before."
It was SPORT magazine.
