Given the major administrative changes at SI in the last year, I'm honestly shocked they held up printing to get this cover done. SI usually prints on Monday and always has been strongest, arguably, with imagery after big events like this one. They had to get the photo, design it and print late Monday night. Despite a digital world it's still a tangible item many will want.

Superb photo and design. Nicely done.


I found a notebook of old SI issues from 30ish years ago including the Pete Rose issue detailing his gambling.
