In case anyone cares…
Bringing this one back to life because I finally found out where the original crossword came from. I checked the back and it had an article about Andy Messersmith. I was able to determine from that information, the author and the partial title of the article, where it was published! Not sure why I didn't think of this before.
I was right all along. It is in fact from The Sporting News from 1976. I have the full issue with unmarked crossword on the way as of today, after confirming with a seller that it is in this particular issue and unmarked!
TSN seems to be a bit harder to find in bulk for cheap compared to Baseball Digest, so I won't be compiling the checklist like I did with Baseball Digest but I would love to know how many different subjects appear in this type of crossword in TSN. Anyone have complete runs from the 70s and some time to re-read them? The only TSNs I have feature Garvey/Dodger covers and are buried somewhere right now.
Love a good mystery and score one for the internet again!
