* Will the real baseball LeBron please stand up?

June 6, 2009

First Sports Illustrated crowned cover boy and teen phenom Bryce Harper (photo left) as “the most exciting prospect since LeBron.” Now is ESPN the Magazine‘s turn. The bi-weekly publication picked pitcher Stephen Strasburg as the feature in it’s cover story, “MLB Draft: The battle over baseball’s LeBron.”

Speaking of ESPN the Magazine, the powers that be decided to eliminate the stand along print pub’s website and make it part of its Insider service, according to this article from Business Seek. Just a way of extorting more bucks from the public. I happen to be an “Insider,” but I don’t even know if the magazine has always been a part of the $39.95 a year fee. I seem to recall that it was, then it wasn’t, and now it is again.
