Biography"SPORT was an American sports magazine. Launched in September 1946[1] by New York-based publisher Macfadden Publications, SPORT pioneered the generous use of color photography – it carried eight full-color plates in its first edition. SPORT predated the launch of Sports Illustrated by eight years, and is remembered[by whom?] for bringing several editorial innovations to the genre, as well as creating, in 1955, the SPORT Magazine Award.[citation needed] The SPORT Award, given initially to the outstanding player in baseball's World Series (Johnny Podres of the Brooklyn Dodgers was the inaugural winner), was later expanded to include the pre-eminent postseason performers in the other three major North American team sports. What made SPORT the most distinctive from Sports Illustrated,[according to whom?] however, was that it was a monthly magazine as opposed to SI's weekly distribution. SPORT was published continually between its launch and August 2000, when its then-owner, British publisher EMAP PLC, made the decision to close the money-losing title. As of 2016, the photo archive of SPORT, which represents one of the most significant collections of 20th-century sports photography in North America,[according to whom?] is housed in Canada in Toronto, Ontario and Vancouver, British Columbia at The SPORT Gallery."--Wikipedia
