Didn’t anyone tell Bryce Harper about the SI Cover Curse? I mean, I know he’s only 16, but even so… Shame on Tom Verducci and the editors for perpetrating this instance of child abuse as they highlight “Baseball’s LeBron.” Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon discussed the situation on yesterday’s Pardon the Interruption, warning the young man and his family not to get too up about it. (Note to Jewish fans: In this case, “Chosen” has no special connotation, as far as we know.)

In other baseball items:

The MLB Player poll asks who will win the World Series? Zzzzzzz.

The symbiotic relationship between Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera.

Harvey Haddix, as channeled through a Texas Longhorn pitcher.

The results of SI‘s annual executive and scout poll.
