Looks like Sports Illustrated is at the end of its run, and what a great run it had. I think most sports fans my age (65) or older had a subscription to SI in their younger days. I did in the late 60s to mid 70s, and I didn't realize how special that time was for SI. The writing was outstanding, and pre-internet, cable, streaming, you waited for their articles about important games and series. The also had these interesting in-depth articles that were always the last one of the issue. I often wonder how many people came to love good writing reading about something they loved, sports.
I try not to get too melancholy about things, since that is a disease of old age, but SI and the Sporting News where my go to sports magazines and both gone or a mere shadow of what was. Frank DeFord, Roy Blunt Jr., Tex Maule, Peter Gammons, Dan Jenkins, and many others, what a rich heritage.
