Who's Who In Baseball 1912-2016

In 1912 the Baseball Magazine Co. published the first issue of Who's Who in Baseball. The cover featured an illustration of Ty Cobb. Starting in 1916 Who's Who in Baseball was published annually by Baseball Magazine until 1952 when Harris Publications took over. Launched in 1908, Baseball Magazine, was the leading publication of its time for information on the game of baseball. By the 1950s magazines such as The sporting News, Sport, and Sports Illustrated started grabbing the market share, and by 1965 baseball Magazine printed it's last issue.

In April 2016, Harris Publications, which had published the annual since 1952 closed shop. Harris Publications sold off a number of their publications to Athlon Magazines, but Who’s Who was not included in the sale. The Last edition of Who's Who In baseball was printed in 2016.
