I came across this today and thought it was pretty cool, Google is now indexing the back issues of a bunch of different magazines, and they've included Baseball Digest. Combine that with SI's vault, and a ton of baseball history is now available on the internet. Some of the cool stuff I've found so far:
Johnny Bench is baseball's best RBI man
Joe Morgan is 1975 Player of the Year (also the game Johnny Bench will never forget)
And also 1976 Player Of The Year
Chris Sabo: Spirit of the Champion Reds
Can the Nasty Boys keep the Reds on top? (Answer: No)
Barry Larkin: Majors Best All Around Shortstop
I'm sure there's a lot more, but I thought this was a good start. I recall Baseball Digest being kind of a lightweight publication when I was a kid, but it's still cool to see some of the old stuff. They need to get on scanning some early 90's Beckett's, now that would be nostalgic. My Todd Van Poppel cards are going to pay for college!
