Calling TZ and Bigwillq!!!!!: Mo'ne on SI cover: Hopefully in UConn jersey next

[joeybee12]

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. -- Mo’ne Davis knew she was going to be in Sports Illustrated at some point. She just didn’t know when or on what page.

So she was “surprised,” she said, to learn Tuesday afternoon that she had become the first little league player ever to grace its cover. Her issue hits stands Wednesday.

It was somewhat of a dream come true for the Dragons’ star -- even though she’s pitching in the photo SI used, and not shooting a basketball. By now, it’s well known that baseball is Davis’ No. 2 sport; she even comes to Taney’s practices wearing mostly basketball gear.

“Actually, it was [a dream],” she said. “A couple years ago, I was reading it with my brother. I wanted to be up there, but I didn’t know what sport. And now it’s baseball, so hopefully next it’ll be me in a UConn jersey.”

3. What you hope and what you get...

Are two different things! I guess she's better at basketball than baseball, hard to believe.
