Founded in 1981, Baseball America quickly established itself as the foremost baseball-only publication and has grown into a full-service media company. Founder Allan Simpson actually began writing the magazine from Canada. By 1983, Simpson moved the magazine to Durham, N.C., after it was purchased by then-Durham Bulls owner Miles Wolff. The magazine is now home to a full editorial and writing staff and often works in conjunction with Major League Baseball, ESPN, and the NCAA.
