Show off your favorite sports magazine cover

[bdeol4]

hey guys, I always wondered what other peoples favorite magazine covers have been. So lets share!

here is mine...reason: fav all time ball player, during a great series and I hate the yankees:)

[bdeol4]

come on guys, nobody?

[trsent]

I have two that come to mind:

43617

43618

I have the Rodman in my personal collection personalized to me. I have an autographed copy of the Billy Martin for sale on eBay right now as I generally only have personalized autographs in my collection.

I can't find a decent-sized pic of the cover, and my copy is buried in the files somewhere, but this cover of Beckett Baseball #155, from February 1968, features Travis Lee wearing a prototype Diamondbacks uniform, and I have the jersey in my collection.

Edit function, please!

Make that "1998". :rolleyes:

[freddiefreeman5]

I liked Griffey's first cover so much when it came out that I saved an unread copy and still have it.

I am very partial to the Freeman / Heyward cover now though. :)

This one always sticks out for me

I'm shocked that there have not been a bunch of swimsuit editions posted...I thought of it, but had too hard of a time picking a favorite. ;)

Dude! That one was from my youth as well! Man, I spent many a night studying that issue.

[Shipp_96]

My personal favorite, also from my youth...when The Man, The Myth and THE Legend finally got his national due from the media. Even sweeter was beating Miami's arrogant @sses in the National Title weeks later!

[Dewey2007]

We must be around the same age. Your SI cover reminds me of my college roommate's grandma. Although I never met her in person we always referred to her as Grandma Penn State. She was a huge Nittany Lions fan and booster. He had a picture of her with a hat on that said "Penn State will have Miami by the Testaverdes". After they beat Miami she sent my roommate a hat that played the Penn State fight song if you pushed a button under the brim. I hated that damn hat!!

Your roommates Grandma was hilarious! I would have loved that hat she wore, or the one with our schools fight song!

Ironically, even though I went to PSU for my first degree and bleed blue and white, one of my best friends from college was a huge Georgia Tech fan...so go figure. Guess attending a school does not automatically make everyone a fan; but since my Dad was a huge Joe PA and Nittany Lions fan long before I ever took a class at PSU, it was easy for me.

Not exactly my favorite cover, but can anyone guess why this regional Sports Illustrated cover was eventually pulled from circulation back in '96 ?:

[Dewey2007]

Was it because Cal looks a little to excited to be on the cover??

[Shipp_96]

So, I see three potential reasons, which may all be wrong.

1) Is that an Oriole in your front pocket, Cal, or are you happy to be "pointing" to into '96?

2) Biggest jerks just happens to be above Roberto Alomar's picture?

3) No JR. in Cal Ripken Jr.'s name?

Here's my favorite. Not for the image as much as it pissed the feminist groups off so much.

Along those lines, hope my choice doesn't offend anyone.
