I just managed to find the first men's magazine issue I ever encountered. Mine was the October 1976 issue of Playboy.

And while it made an impression on me when it came to the opposite sex, if did zero for my interest in baseball.
Unfortunately, I will have to say it must of been around 1977 when an impression greater than Playboy came my way in terms of a copy of Penthouse. There was these two pictures inside, not the honey of the month but just another group of woman and it featured a melting Popsicle. Not that changed my thinking about frozen treats forever. Still to this day, though, I cannot identify the Penthouse issue.
