PERSI & Sports

With the recent 2007 release of the Periodical Source Index on Heritage Quest Online, I became curious as to which sport had the most entries in PERSI. So using the sport name as a keyword, I discovered that there are 1484 entries for baseball in the United States, 858 for basketball, and 674 for football. Because I know that many of these entries are high school or college team photographs, I also checked the entries with the specific record type History, and found there were 986 entries for baseball, 101 for basketball, and 144 for football.
