Baseball Digest gets new owner — its third in 79 years
NY Post
Norm Jacobs, who took over Baseball Digest in 1969, has sold the 79-year-old publication to his minority partner.
Jacobs is 88 and a silent partner with Jerry Reinsdorf in the syndicate that owns the Chicago Bulls. The new ownership is Pro Scouts LLC, headed by associate publisher David Fagley, who bought a minority stake from Jacobs in 2011. The bi-monthly publication had taken the unusual step of putting its entire archives online for free when Major League Baseball and all pro sports shut down in late March 2020 at the start of the pandemic.More Related News
“The right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances,” is guaranteed right at the top of the First Amendment, but the folks in charge of The Washington Post see such action as profoundly sinister if the “wrong” people do it, or perhaps the paper’s problem is with association and communication for the wrong causes.
