Founded this year by Arizona real estate developer Jim Morley, the S.P.B.A. is into its first three-month season, fielding eight Florida teams of ex-major leaguers 35 or older (catchers may be 32).

The magazine's greatest strength is the exceptional sense of intimacy it shares with its readers, as well as its simple, first-person style. 60 Minutes Correspondent Morley Safer habitually packs issues of the magazine whenever he heads off to unfamiliar parts of the globe.
