Just got word on the little Ticket that Hambone is going to be the cover story for the upcoming issue of Sports Illustrated. I can't find anything else to confirm it, so this all rests on the suspect word of one Cobra Davidson. I assume it 's going to be the feature that Albert Chen did. Decent read.

Hopefully this will help up the kid's terrible all-star voting numbers. I've already voted for him four times...and Richie Sexson 12.
