This week (Sept. 10) in Sports Illustrated

September 6, 2007

With football season starting, baseball will lose its dominance on the pages of SI. This week’s items include:

  • Photos of Jay Buchholz’s no-hitter over the Orioles
  • “Hitting fastballs with…Chipper Jones
  • Back to School memories with several big leaguers including Shawn Green, Adam Dunn, and Russell Martin (no really big stars here)
  • A chart of potential 300-game winners over the next dozen or so years
  • The feature story profiles the Phillies’ Jimmy Rollins (“This is How They Roll,” by Michael Bamberger)
  • Rick Reilly posits on the joys and sorrows of catching knuckleballer Tim Wakefield in “Catch as Catch Can”

I still wonder why SI offers its weekly “Golf Plus” section. Since it seems the publication is trying to skew younger, the inclusion of so much golf material, which has an older demographic, seems counterproductive (or trying to please many masters).
