Baseball Digest is a baseball magazine resource, published in Evanston, Illinois by Lakeside Publishing Company. It is the oldest baseball magazine in the United States. It was created by Herbert F.

In 1981, Joan Whaley was published as its first female contributor.
   It is published 8 times a year (Jan./Feb., Mar./Apr., May, June, July, August, September, and Oct./Nov.) – with National and American League schedules, directories, and pre-season rosters – the magazine provides insights on Major League Baseball history and on current stars, often from one-on-one interviews.
