This issue, no. 10, is titled the Baseball Issue, with a focus on the sport of baseball, though other sports and topics find their way into the collection. This scarce issue is particularly collectible for the first publication of an early poem by Stephen King titled, "Brooklyn August," in which he takes a nostalgic look at baseball's heyday with the 1956 Brooklyn Dodgers team at Ebbets Field before their move to Los Angeles. The poem later appeared in his 1993 short story and poetry collection Nightmares & Dreamscapes.
