magazine supplement distributed with
newspapers, published from 1953 to
2014. Topics were relevant to family
life, including social issues,
entertainment, health, food, and
travel. It was later renamed "USA
Weekend." The April 8, 1962 issue
features the cover story "Will

Homer Hill captures the Spirit of our
national pastime, which launches its
1962 season this week. Making their boro- two new major-league teams. (page

In this issue Family Weekly studies baseball's league expansion. Two new
teams, the Houston Colts and New York
Mets, join expanded major leagues as
the 1962 baseball season officially
opened on Monday, April 9. But though
the game will be brought to more
millions of fans, will the quality of
play suffer? What will happen to the
dwindling minor leagues?
Homer Hill's cover art depicts "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" sheet music
surrounded by a "Champions" pennant;
Babe Ruth newspaper clipping; catchers
mask; bottle of coke; hot dog; peanuts;
scorecard; baseball bat, glove and
ball, with an infield green background.
