* This week (Oct. 5) in Sports Ilustrated

October 1, 2009

The cover pays tribute to the one and only Mariano Rivera, profiled by Tom Verducci. (Of course, there may be more than one “Mariano Rivera,” but you know what I mean.)

Joe Posnanski contributed this piece on Mark Reynolds, the Diamondbacks’ strikeout artists — and I don’t mean the good kind. There’s this little item about Baseball Americana, a new coffee table title published by the Library of Congress. Another piece lists a few of the strange injuries this season. what, nothing about the Mets? They can’t even make for interesting injuries, it seems. That’s okay; The New York Times ran this story that puts things in perspective. It’s worth noting that seven of the members of the opening day line up have spent time on the D.L. By comparison, the Braves and Nationals have had four, the Phillies, two, and the Marlins, zero.
