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.
