It's not looking good. Here's an email reply excerpt from Bob
Huggins, founder of paperofrecord. com:

Thanks for your note. It's been re-directed to Google as they
acquired our content in 2006. I spoke at length with SABR to no
avail. The Sporting News database was not moved over as Google could
not come to a deal with TSN. However all the data is there and could
be made available if we could find someone to pay for it. It's
frustrating, but we've attempted to secure SABR for two years now--
Best---Bob Huggins

Google News Archive, but doesn't seem to be there yet.
