Lip Man 1 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 October 31, 2005 - Happy Halloween! As the White Sox were winning their first championship in 88 years, Sports Illustrated put Scott Podsednik and his winning home run from the second game on the cover. The long caption read, “World Series. In a Match Up of Two Title Hungry Teams, The White Sox Struck First, Dramatically Downing the Astros in Games 1 And 2.” Sports Illustrated then basically ignored the White Sox winning the series by only putting a small circle shot of the team celebrating in the corner of the following week’s cover, breaking a long-standing tradition. The cover that week was Peyton Manning and Tom Brady as the magazine previewed a regular season NFL game….not a Super Bowl matchup, not a playoff contest…but a regular season meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
