I have been doing research on the Hearst Classic for some time.
Although, I have the complete rosters for each year, I do not have the players numbers. For that, one would need to go to the New York Journal American. By the way, the 1958 U. S. team included Ron Santo, Paul Popovich, and John Bocabella. Oscar Vitt was the U. S. Manager and George Stirnweiss was the J-A manager. I try to get down to New York from Connecticut, periodically to do research. IfI track down who number 9 was, I will let you know. Alan Cohen |

Thank you Alan.
I enjoyed reading your Hearst Classic articles the past year. They are so informative and a terrific read. I've never seen any images from games after 1960. There must be some out there, somewhere. Thanks again. Bob

The Baltimore News-Post had pictures of Ron Swoboda (1962) and Jim Spencer (1963). The San Antonio Light had a picture of Davey Johnson and Jerry Grote (1961). Journal-American pictures are housed at the University of Texas, but nobody has done made a serious attempt to catalog. In the BRJ article, we used a picture of the 1962 U. S. All-Star outfield. These days, I am concentrating on 1948 in San Francisco.

I have not been able to positively identify the year of the red US All Star jersey shown in an earlier post (still looking for a 1958 program and images from that year's game—thanks in advance for any leads).
Meantime, recently came across this 1946 US All Star flannel from the inaugural Hearst Diamond Pennant Series (aka Hearst Sandlot Classic). Herb Adams was the starting pitcher that day at the Polo Grounds (August 15, 1946) for the US All Stars. He no hit the NY All Stars over the 3 shutout innings that he pitched while wearing the jersey. Adams would later play for the Chicago White Sox during 1948-1950 before serving time in the Korean War. Hall of Famer Ray Schalk was coach of the US team that year. While "Rabbit" Maranville led the NY All Stars. Picture shows southpaw Herb Adams to the right of Schalk. Net54 member Alan Colen has numerous informative and well written articles on the 20 year history of the Hearst All Star Classic that can be found online.

Images from 1946 are great. I have a copy of the 1962 program. I will check about 1958. I have spoken with Len Merullo, who played in the game, as well as his son Matt, who played with the White Sox. Matt had a picture of the U. S. All-Stars that was taken at the hotel. Not sure if he has a program. I touched base with the Yankees to see if they had anything (games played at Stadium from 1959 through 1965), but they didn't keep the programs.

1953 Hearst Program. I picked it up because the Globetrotters played that year vs a group of US NBA Stars. Nice program has history of past games and Rosters and couple nice shots of Maranvill and C. Gehringer. Who managed the youngsters that year.
One tidbit I gleaned was the "Lou Gehrig Trophy" presented to the games MVP was in 1951 given to a young man named Al Kaline.. Pictures if The Globetrotters and both the US and NY teams. But no pics of the NBA stars...? |

Are you able to post any of the newspapers images you've mentioned? I found a copy (image attached) of the 1958 roster (#9 is John Matthews). Santo was #11. 1958HearstUSAllStar.jpg
