Notes

• "The Greatest Pitcher in the World" is reprinted in The Best of DC #36.
• "The Man Who Went to Krypton" is considered to be an early Earth-One Superman story, because it references Superman's earlier career as Superboy, which did not happen on Earth-Two.

Trivia

• "The Greatest Pitcher in the World" is adapted from a story from The Adventures of Superman radio serial.
• "The Man Who Went to Krypton": Prof. Enders claims Earth gravity is less than Krypton's, and Jor-El assures an Earthling would not be able to move on Krypton... but Enders wasn't affected by the heavy gravity at all.
