Replay 25 Years Ago in Sports Illustrated

July 22, 1991
Our Aug. 1, 1966, cover featured Rich Clarkson 's photo of Jim Ryun breaking the world record in the mile. Inside the issue were some pictures taken by the 19-year-old Ryun, a summer intern for The Topeka Capital-Journal, for Clarkson, that paper's photo director. We also had a story on the Baltimore Orioles, who were on a tear because of a batting tip that second baseman Dave Johnson had given outfielder Frank Robinson.
