I am not a sports fan, as you know, but this is a great day in history for lovers of sports and their most well-known magazine.  On this date in 1954, the first Sports Illustrated magazine was published.  This was the first magazine of its kind.  In other words, there was no national magazine that covered sports until this magazine made its appearance.  I am sure many men look forward to the annual swimsuit edition of this magazine, but this publication is still the authoritative national sports magazine with over 3.5 million subscribers.
