content: Not to be confused with the identically named British newspaper, The Sporting Life was an American periodical focused on baseball, hunting, and other sports. Published from 1883-1917, and again from 1922-1924, the newspaper, along with longer lasting rival, The Sporting News, helped to popularize spectator sports in the United States. Today, The Sporting Life is perhaps best remembered for the baseball cards it made available to subscribers.
