WHEN Sporting News first hit the presses in 1886, there was no World Series, no National Football League, and no Cracker Jack, much less the Internet, mobile score updates or jeering sports bloggers.

Alas, the world of sports media is not a forgiving place. Along came USA Today, ESPN and, of course, the Web, bringing instant access to all manner of statistics and athletic chatter.
