This week (October 29) in Sports Illustrated

October 24, 2007

This week features the NBA preview, which sets an All-Star precedent by listing the sport’s luminaries in height order.

The lone baseball feature is “The Possible Dream,” a World Series preview by Tom Verducci, with a sidebar from Joe Sheehan of Baseball Prospectus.

Two other items on baseball:

  • Whither the Yankees now that Joe Torre is gone?
  • A nice tribute to Peanuts‘ Charles M. Schulz. No one better expressed the innocent agony and joy of what is, after all, a kids’ game. A collection of his baseball-themed strips was published as Sandlot Peanuts.
  • The Life off Reilly riffs on Colorado baseball in the fall.

And just as an aside:

Which one is not like the other?

It’s a trick question! I realize both of these sports publications want to feature the Celtics for their NBA previews, but come on! Is this the best they can do? Which one’s the chicken and which the egg?
