The Sporting News turned 138 years old on March 17, which — with all due respect to a certain saint — we here refer to as Founders Day, an unofficial company holiday. Now, 11 days later, “the Bible of Baseball” is ready to celebrate our 138th Opening Day. In advance of 2024’s lid-lifter, we dug into The Sporting News Archives (more on that as 2024 develops) and mined a dozen assorted items related to the season’s first day as our gift to you on this unofficial national holiday.
