“Run away! Run away!”

August 21, 2014

https://i0.wp.com/cdn.thewire.com/media/img/upload/wire/2014/08/19/MoNe/lead_large.jpg?resize=235%2C311That’s my advice to any athlete approached by Sports Illustrated for a cover story.

Mo’ne Davis, the 13-year-old pitcher for the Mid-Atlantic/ Philadelphia entry at the Little League World Series, has been all the buzz lately, thanks to her dazzling success and poise.

Well, that streak ran out last night as her team was defeated by the team from Nevada, 8-1.

Coincidence? I think not. A piece from CBS Sports, posted Aug. 19, ran with the headline “Mo’ne Davis Can Overcome The SI Cover Curse.”

Nope.
